It was a pleasure to participate during the 2011 Educational & Developmental conference in Melbourne last month. A great incentive for us in attending to the conference was Professor Nancy Mather's workshop. Professor Nancy is a special education expert from the University of Arizona specializing in learning disabilities diagnosis and intervention.
Kimberley O'Brien - who also presented during the conference - and our team have enjoyed the current research findings from colleagues around Australia.
