Made it into Landrover Monthly this issue should be out in August here, it's June issue.

I got mine in the post already, not sure if it is in the shops yet, and it's nice to know someone famous at last.

As I said Andrew, he'll never be capable of living independently, but he's the most cheerful, affectionate person I know.
Before he started, Geebung Special School, his elder sister spent months secretly coaching him one phrase. On Mothers' Day his parents heard him utter his first words, as his sister ushered him into their bedroom, whilst delivering breakfast. "Happy Mothers' Day Mum." Saw Mum burst into tears.

Special Schools in Queensland are far different now from what they were when we went to school. No longer are they merely a place to park kids who cannot cope (or be coped with) in mainstream schools. Nowadays each school specialiises in various disabilities, actually allowing kids to reach their individual potential. Ed is very fortunate that the school that suited his needs is only two suburbs from home. He loves it and will now miss it terribly.

Great to hear this positive comment. I work in mainstream to support those with difficulties and disabilities, whilst wife’s at an Ed support school. It’s a tough gig to keep the momentum up to increase the positive change from what we all know of when we were young. I never even heard of disabilities apart from Down syndrome when I was a kid - and it would have made me a better person if I’d met the full range of citizens of our great country- and the world- rather than the very filtered people I grew up knowing. I love it these days at schools seeing the students so accepting of all their peers. Sure, teenagers can be cruel, won’t shy away from that, but the great majority of wonderful young people these days are kind and supportive of all their peers - a far cry from the attitudes I heard in the 1980s as a kid.

Well done Wheelchair Warrior. No doubt you will be a great motivational speaker as your story connects at so many levels. You just have to make it happen now!

Probably plenty here who would be happy to reach out to contacts in the industries we work in to help you land a gig as well. All within driving distance for you as well (of course in a D2 that could mean anywhere in Australia).

[Epic_Dragon]

yes anywhere in this beautiful country
Thankyou if I help just 1 person, I'm a happy lady
