It takes a special person to work in these schools. I had a stint once at Wairoa School for handicapped kids in Bondi, and I must admit it was difficult, but rewarding. I’m still getting over the excitement of my friend’s book launch, which was actually launched by Dr Karl. I’ve just helped Libby set up a blog, which is essential these days for promoting your book. Great to hear from you again, Ian, and I will get around to looking at your poem, along with Roger’s ghost story. Thanks for your support.

Our daughter is a special education teacher currently on staff at Glenvale School, Narara, which is a New South Wales Department of Education and Communities school for Central Coast students who have a significant disability. The school provides high quality special education for those students from age four to eighteen years of age with moderate to severe intellectual disability. The school also provides programs for students of primary age with emotional disturbance. I shudder at the difficulties those children and their families face. I take my hat off to the dedicated staff members all of whom do a job I would find next to impossible to face daily.
