    Yeh we defiantly don't have to be reassessed. Just lack of education of frontline staff. I am aware of the MoEs policy of inclusion by 2014. I know that students with special education needs are a priority group but I'm yet to see a majority proportion of schools showing good practice or culture. Hopefully it will keep improving in next 2.5 years for my daughter

    I am terrified of what battles I will face in a few years when my daughter starts school. I knew it was going to be hard when I first went to WINZ to apply for the CDA for her. I was told WINZ would have to get their medical advisors to assess whether it would automatically rollover each year or if it would need reassessing. My daughter has down syndrome. It not like she will grow out of the extra chromosome. That was a pretty traumatic conversation to have to have with some moron about my 3 month old. I am sure I will have some gems to come
