Christine Booth: “I feel extremely fortunate to have a very successful My Time Extension Group at Mitchelton State Special School and never miss an opportunity to spread the word to other parents who may not realise what a fantastic group it is.”

Jean Wilkie: “Through MyTime I have gained the friendship, information and support (not to mention a new hairdresser!) that would otherwise have been very difficult to find. I think I have missed only 2 or 3 meetings - and not by choice.”

Jo Harrison: "MyTime has given me lots of things – knowledge, power, laughter, experience, confidence, empathy and understanding, friendships."

Kylie Graham: “I feel quite sure that you can never have enough supportive friends in this life and I think the MyTime philosophy actively encourages us to connect and be enriched by the experience.”

Narelle Cordiner: "One of the most rewarding aspects of MyTime for me has been in the knowledge that I have helped others through the grief process just by sharing my story.”

Tric Gotley: “With the introduction of the MyTime group there was a perceptible change in this feeling of isolation as I met other parents who could understand the challenges of having a child with special needs.”
