First of all, why such a resource? How much more time will something like this resource take out of an already too full day, coping with not only the needs of your child with a disability, but those of every member of your family?
Well, we have spent countless hours with families, listening to them tell us how many times they have had to repeat their child’s history, their disability, their support needs, their milestones to doctors and nurses, to teachers and support staff, to the physio and the occupational therapist, to the dentist and the optician, and the list goes on.
It was through consultation with families across South Australia that the resource took shape and form into this website. We believe that by controlling how your child's life story is told and what is told to others, you can influence the way that others see and support your child. And you won’t have to keep repeating yourself!
