"I think I've learned that people can be different and that people have always their excuses or the reasons behind their differences and that we one of the things that I've learned is to always accept differences and accept that everybody is entitled for their the way they think and behave and that it is all has roots to their environment and their genetic make-up too"

"At that time, of course I was much younger and I wanted to understand more about my self and about other people's personalities I wanted to learn more about disorders I was very much interested in those types of things"

"I think that we have to make sure that the legislation, the law, allows people with cognitive disabilities to inter school like everyone else. We also have to change the way we train teachers;"

"We need to make sure that the curriculum becomes more flexible as to meet the"

"people on Wheelchairs or people who are using Crutches or even sensory disabilities they're much easier to deal with because they have normal intelligence and they would function well at the school and so on. I feel that the people with cognitive disabilities pose the biggest challenges so, I always feel that we have to not marginalize them, but actually include them and make sure that their needs are met in any setting."

"I will actually first try to make them understand what is it like to have a disability and that everyone anyone is prone to have a disability so, we can't be looking down upon people with disabilities just to understand what it means to have a disability and then probably I will encourage them to to to push for equal opportunity for everybody to be the ones who ask for people with every type of disability to be included in society, included in universities, included in everything the planning for the curriculum and so on; so, I think the students who have this type of ability to push for that."
