Childminder Conference, Wigan, 21st March 2009
|
|
Alison John was recommended to me from another LA. As with any recommendation you can only hope that my expectations are on a par with the person who made the recommendation.
Alison John and her presentation, completely rocked me to my core. She totally blew away my thoughts around disability. ‘Experts’ in the field need to attend Alison’s course. Many thoughts and opinions were changed in that room, that day, the message was so profound that I am confident that those changes will remain deep within for a very long time.
Thank you Alison
