This story really wants to be read to the end. 💔
Last Sunday I talked to a 56-year-old grandmother who made me realize that even in Bangkok, poverty and lack of access are still a painful reality.
👵🏻 * * Grandma's story * *
• Worked at a restaurant daily, paid 400 baht / day
• Two sons are Ryder.
• Raising a four-year-old nephew who was diagnosed with "artificial autism."
😢 * * Trouble that can't be done * *
You can live a normal life, but you can be hit for some intense play, and when you reach school age:
❌ Normal schools based on the right to free admission = rejected. Reason "slow development."
❌ Ratchabul Hospital = Refused. Reason for "getting into a normal school."
⚠️ Private school = accepted, but tuition fees are too high.
🔄 * * Tragic cycle * *
You are still in the care of a community day care center, waiting for school... and the family is considering having to recover outside the system to get you into the criteria because there is no loan qualification in the system.
💭 * * Questions to ask * *
How can a child who does not receive educational opportunities mature into a quality adult?
While these same children, with the right care, could grow into people who create hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
🤝 * * What we need to do * *
This is not just a matter of one family, but of a system that needs to be improved; children with special needs need to be given equal opportunities, not pushed between agencies.
If we want the quality of life of Thais to be equivalent to other countries, we have to start leaving no one behind.
* * "Every child is the future of the nation, no matter how different" * *
