Jane’s story
I remember sending my mother all-round the shopping centre – I must have driven her mad – to buy me
a local school uniform, even though I didn't go there. I didn't particularly like the way I was treated by
school staff – special, frail, in need of very special care. My memories of junior school were not learning
to read, add or multiply, nor even how to keep pets.... no, they were of endless hours of physio, tons of
art and craft (this was recognised as something I could do and would content me in my adulthood, since
no employment was ever envisaged) and pushing myself in my wheelchair down endless corridors and,
consequently being tired.' Jane Campbell, 1992.
Adapted from Simon Gardner, 1992
