We all have had vocational day experiences in and around the Bairnsdale area. With Jenna visiting a local newspaper (East Gippsland Newspaper), Chris at a local radio station (REGFM), Carolyn spending the day at Nagle College visiting with the Director of Educational Services and Dolf having a field day with a manager of Parks Victoria.
I (Shelley) was lucky enough to spend the morning at the Bairnsdale Regional Health Services hospital with a few different Occupational Therapists. Both Lorelle and Jane provided me with lots of information about the occupational therapy department and services and how they facilitate a patients return to home.
My afternoon was spent on a tour of the East Gippsland Specialist School. Coming from Canada where there is an integrated approach for students with disabilities I have found it very interesting to learn about Victoria's Specialist and Special Developmental Schools. These are schools where students with certain disabilities are able to attend and receive an alternative schooling and education with their peers.
