Completely agree. What makes our headlines is very often a terrible indictment on what we value, and what we don't.

Adam’s final day of school today. He gave the staff a chocolate cake and this signed copy of @CologonKathy fab issue paper. The evidence base for what Adam showed them was possible and should be the norm #inclusiveeducation @DRC_AU @cyda @PWDAustralia

Imagine giving up your son to the state as there's no other way to get him suitable housing...only to find there's a rapist working at the group home he ends up at. Sandy Guy & her son Liam went through this, my story on @abcnews abc.net.au/radio/adelaide/pr… #disabilityroyalcommission

Two years, four appeals- and finally Nadine got the support her daughter desperately needed. But only after mentioning the ABC. Good for this family but what about the rest? It shouldn't take calls to the media to get this stuff sorted out. #NDISMakeItWork

A thread: 🧵
Last night I shared a family story with the @DRC_AU about a relative and her autistic son.
2018 was his first year of high school. A short transition had occurred.
His NEP was not updated during this time even though it was a major transition (ie. perfect time).
