Deaf Schools, Friendship and Equality
July 14, 2010
This is Charlie Swinbourne’s latest article for Ouch!. It’s about deaf schools, which are slowly closing down, with pupils being sent to mainstream schools. It’s well worth a read.
Charlie makes good points about the friendships which form between groups of people who share a DisAbility. He wonders if these friendships and bonds will last once the schools the children share close down. I’d just like to assure him that friendships like these do last for life. These are unbreakable bonds. The feeling is something stronger than friendship. I’m saying this with such certainty because I have experienced it myself, in my relationships with those of my friends who share my DisAbility.
