The player also stressed that the accompaniment of a professional is essential for the learning of his daughter. “The saddest thing is to hear this precisely from schools that say they accept all kinds of children. Reality, however, is quite different. If it was not for a single school to have accepted my daughter, she simply could not study in Belo Horizonte,” he said.

Cassio reinforced the need for a practical application of inclusion policies. “As a father, seeing his daughter rejected simply because he is autistic is something that cuts the heart. Inclusion is not just a beautiful word in propaganda, it is attitude. And we are still far from living it for real,” he said.
