OnPoint: What Andrew Geddis Said, But…, in reply to Hilary Stace,

Even though disabled people make up about 20% of the population and the likelihood that everyone will probably either require care or be a carer sometime in their adult life, we have no academic departments focussed on disability policy.
This is an important point. I'm a carer now for my husband who is sinking deeper and deeper into dementia. We are being helped by a variety of organisations both public and charity-based. They are all stretched - aged care is a growth area - but I've found them good so far. It breaks my heart to think that disabled children and their parents have to struggle more than I do for assistance, so much so that when my husband goes into care I hope to be able to use my teaching experience to help disabled children in some way.
Yes, there should be academic departments devoted to this area.

Cultural diversity in the garden: shot through laundry window. I don't know what the (Australian) plant is that attracts the parrots but they just love it.
