A word from our Options Day 2017 Ambassador Mums about loving and nurturing a child living with disability…
Hayden Medcalf’s Mum:
Have faith that you are doing your best. Listen to your child and what their true needs are even if they aren’t sure what that is yet, their time will come and they WILL find their very own pathway.
Monique Van Kooten’s Mum:
For me I found focusing on the positive kept me sane and trying to turn the negatives into positives worked for me. I wanted my daughter to feel proud of her uniqueness, and that she should not have to apologise for all the things that made her uniquely her. I chose to surround myself with people who really care and who wanted the best for my family and parked the negative people who focused on what Monique couldn’t do in the “no Friend zone”. I think everyone should strive for their full potential, whatever that may look like.

Here's more from my flying visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum a couple of weeks back. Only a few things are labelled. I wasn't taking notes. The place was shutting in an hour so I had to push on. Because of the low lighting, most pictures are taken at ISO 1600, between 1/15th and 1/10th sec exposure - hand held, of course, so excuse the noise and the occasional camera shake!

Our Options Day 2017 Ambassador Stories
Hayden Medcalf (16 Years old): My Story
I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome at the age of nine. I don’t see Asperger’s as a disability it just means I am different, I see the world differently.
Having Autism affects my ability to concentrate, focus on tasks and handle pressure. With the love and support of my family, teachers and professional’s there have been many tears and triumphs to get me where I am today. I am just about to finish a school based traineeship in media while working at Bundaberg Broadcasting in editing and sound production. I have been accepted at two universities’ to study a bachelor of sound engineering.
I would like my role as an Options day ambassador to inspire others who are different like me to step out and challenge themselves to get out there and follow their dreams.
Monique Van Kooten (18 years old): My Story
I have Asperger’s Syndrome which is on the autism spectrum. My disability is a developmental condition that affects my ability to effectively communicate with others. I could not talk until the age of five and had difficulties socialising with others.
However, with early intervention from multiple providers and the support and love from my family and friends, I have been lucky. All these people have had a major impact on my life so far, and they have helped me with strategies and support which in turn, helps to limit the impact that my disability can put on me in the broader community.
Despite my disability I was able to graduate high school with an OP 2, obtain a full time traineeship at Southern Cross Support Services and got accepted into UQ University next year studying Architecture.
I hope my role with being the Options Day Ambassador can encourage people with disabilities that they can achieve their goals and do things just as well as anyone else can.

Architecture in the Natural History Museum (nmh) lobby. For some reason it has skeletons hanging in the right hand arches.
Cliffe Castle was originally the home of Victorian millionaire and textile manufacturer Henry Isaac Butterfield. Completed in the 1880s the building was funded by the Butterfield family's industrial empire which included wool textile mills and a shipping business that took British goods to Europe, America and China.
The completed house was a showcase of international art and French decoration. It was the scene of many glittering social events. Butterfield family connections included the Roosevelts of America and members of the court of Napoleon III.
In the 1950s the Castle was bought by Sir Bracewell Smith, a local man who became Lord Mayor of London. Sir Bracewell used architect Sir Albert Richardson to turn Cliffe Castle's gardens into a grand public park and remodelled the Castle to be a free museum for the people of the district.
In recent years Cliffe Castle has undergone a major restoration. Visitors can see sparkling Victorian rooms and furniture, paintings and decorative art. Special galleries deal with natural history, archaeology and social history, all of which can be seen along with the internationally important display of stained glass by Morris & Co. The Castle also hosts changing exhibitions from its collections and the community. Family areas ensure there is something for all ages.

The Options Day 2017 'Working Party’ is proud to announce this year’s Options Day Ambassadors – Hayden Medcalf and Monique Van Kooten.
Both of these positive young adults live with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and have taken over the reins from last year’s Ambassador Rebecca Markwell, who did such an amazing job in paving the way (Thank you Becky).
“I would not have applied to go to university had I not attended Options Day 2016. Listening to Becky speak last year made me realise that I should follow my passion for Architecture. I’m moving from Bundaberg to Brisbane in 2018 to pursue my university dream." (Monique Van Kooten, Options Day 2017 Ambassador)
