Describe the challenge you want to address:

A city where disabled kids are not treated with care & love is not a good lovable city. I saw in the year a autistic child was pushed to the ground by another child, while there was a parent present who did not stop it. We believe it is due to ignorance.

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

We need to have a small discussion group with parents, teachers in a community setting. We should have community meetings + programs to create awareness of this population so that they are treated nicely.
