I'm currently in my third year studying Occupational Therapy, and am doing an assignment critiquing part of the NZ Disability Strategy. My focus is on the barriers to inclusive physical education in primary schools and I'm after a parent with a disabled child who wouldn't mind sharing their experiences. Please email me if you can help me out! schoombie.emma@gmail.com In case anyone reads this…

Coool, I like it. I got a weird email kind of like that one from that woman you got but slightly more offensive... this girl told me her boyfriend hated me because I'd been to the Paralympics and so I was a retard, and lower than his standards... soo being the easily wound up email-respondent that I am, I wrote back and said I felt bad that she didn't know the difference between being a retard and having been to the Paralympics... she THEN said that she knew "all about" the Paralympics from a nutrition class at Otago. Hmm... sounds like it. Anyway since you haven't updated your site in months you probably won't read this anyway, haha. Peace yo.

As for paying someone to go with you, na don't. Find someone who's all ready travelling somewhere and go with them. You'll meet heaps of people, on the way and you can vary travel plans as you go.That's what I did when I was 21, went with a friend through Indonesia left them in bangkok, went to London hooked up with other friends. Just make sure you have some money to get back home! Was I in danger?yeah,sure sometimes , But travel is meant to be an adventure, isn't it? I find accesible tourism very interesting and I'm going to the international congress on accesible tourism later on this year in Vienna OK most accessable city I've been to VEGAS 4sure, it's 1 big concreate jungle and just totally geared up, wchairs everywhere, least accesable Java Indonesa, mainly attitudes, got followed by small crowds throwing rubbish and imatating my cp.
