I would be lying if I said I always knew this stuff. Because I didn't. I guess I am lucky in the sense that I have only been working in the disability sector for 12 months. Before that I was a student at UNI studying Social work and…"

Peter Leidy commented on renee stanley's blog post How to respond respectfully?"Hi Renee,
A couple thoughts...
What you are describing, in my experience, is common. I think Alan's suggestions are right on. Just yesterday I had a conversation with a very loving young woman who is a friend of my daughter. She is in college…"
