Welcome

Almost halfway through the final school term and there are still a number of free Positive Partnerships workshops and webinar events being hosted in 2013. We're also getting ready for the new year, planning events to help people support school-age students with autism across Australia. Remember to regularly check our website (Link:

Mum of six overcomes isolation

Carmen's story

It's hard to imagine that a mother of six children, including one with an autism spectrum disorder, could ever feel alone but Carmen Lehtohnen did.
She, like many others, has said that parenting a child with autism can be an isolating experience, even when it seems that you rarely have a moment to yourself.
That sense of isolation was heightened for Carmen, living and raising a family in the remote town of Mount Isa in Queensland, because she felt she and her son were missing out on the support they needed.

Positive Partnerships' Queensland team leader, Rachael Dillon, says she was 'born to teach'. We spoke with her recently about what inspires her to make a difference and some of the exciting work she does working with communities across the State.
