Hi there, I just wanted to say I absolutely bloody love your podcast. My 14 yo school can't son has just finished his first term of Euka. We started home school after almost 12 months of all the things that go with school can't. Recently had our first home visit, all went beautifully. I can so relate with everything I'm hearing from this podcast, and it makes me feel sad that families are being forced to go through what we did. Keep up the good, nay, great work! Jess
