Special Needs education and Childcare

[Nicko]

Hi all and many thanks for the welcoming messages.If all the people emigrating are like you lot we should have gone years ago,real nice people. My son has mild dispraxia and has a couple of hours a week extra tution at primary school to help him out.Does this sort of help exist in the Perth area? Also what is the situation regarding after school clubs,breakfast clubs or child care just in case we both end up working silly hours like we do here. Any help would be greatly appreciated,many thanks Nicko.

Hi Nicko,
I'm interested to know the answer to this one.
I work currently at a primary school as a Teaching Assistant, but have worked closely with a child with dyspraxia and also a child with autism. I wondered if Oz had Teaching Assistants!

I'm pretty sure there are Teacher Aides all over OZ, I know here in Queensland we have them in all schools.
