Having a son who is totally blind meant I had to face many hardships as a parent. Everything from getting information in appropriate formats for my son, to extra tuition, to specialist adaptive technology, products, equipment, software, hardware games, books and anything else that my son needed for his life to be made easier and for want of abetter word, “normal” For me as a parent, this meant long working hours, a second job, and hours upon hours of research to find appropriate assistance for my son. As a parent, I consider this research totally worthwhile and I am extremely pleased to say my son has a fulfilling life as a whole person who is totally blind. As a result of my own personal experiences which include experiencing many hardships, in 2001 I began painstaking research in to how I could leave a trust for parents and or children who are currently going through what I have been through. I should point out, I didn’t just do this for parents but for all of the Australian people with physical and or learning disabilities in general. After consulting with no less than 17 Australian solicitors at my own personal expense, I am pleased to write the following clause. Thank you. ---------- 3.1.
