Biography
About me? It's not about me. It's about parents of children with cerebral palsy and our aspirations for our children, especially their education and training and lifelong learning; about their quality of life. It's about how we should be doing all this better but if you google 'cerebral palsy, education' you get almost nothing of real interest - except conductive education, of course.
It's about how some of us in Sheffield, UK, set out 15 years ago to make a difference; opened Paces Campus to put services for disabled children and their families at the heart of a local community centre. It's about our drive to achieve that Vision and to change public policy in all sorts of ways; how parents should be the drivers of strategic planning in the services that affect them.
Interests
It's not about my interests. What's interesting is: using Web2.0 for collaboration; breaking out of boxes; escaping isolation; coming in from margins; innovating new ways; achieving radical change. What's interesting is asking: why is the education of children with cerebral palsy not discussed?
