Hi,
I am a special education teacher in Victoria, Australia. I stumbled across your this morning and have spent an hour and a half reading through your posts and watching some of your video links. I have added you to my blogroll and I am sure that I will be back often.

Thanks Sue, I'm glad you found my posts and resources helpful! You're always welcome to visit. I hope you can share some of your special education practices in Australia? Is there a big difference?
