A bit missing...

Here, in her regular blog, Gail Hanrahan, one of Dimensions' family consultants, shares her views and experiences as a parent to her son G, who has a learning disability, and her other two children.


Please note that the views expressed in the blog are the views of Gail and not necessarily the views of Dimensions as a whole.
