Schools to teach about invisible disabilities/illnesses

Closed 258 signatures

What the petition asks

Living with an invisible disability is difficult, most people don't even know what one is, in this petition you are signing to make sure invisible disabilities/illnesses like EDS,PoTS, HMS, CF and many alike are taught within schools to show people that a disability isnt always noticeable by sight.
Living with EDS I find school and most other activities extremely difficult this is not helped by the school or anyone around me not even knowing what it is. People need to be made aware of invisible disability.
