SEN pupils help educate the public through poster campaign

Amy, 17, who is a pupil at Harberton, gave a speech in front of an audience who had come to find out about #hearMe Out.

“Young people with disabilities face challenges others may never see,” she said.

“Challenges around being misunderstood, feeling excluded, facing assumptions, even not feeling heard.”

For 17-year-old Abdul working on the campaign was “amazing”.

He said that he hoped people would learn to treat those with disabilities more kindly, and he particularly identified with one character who could find loud noises difficult.

“I would say thanks for this opportunity.”
