Family story in 'Women's Weekly'

The December issue of the Australian Women's Weekly includes an insightful interview with the Orr family, about raising with their now 42 year old son, Iain, who has Down syndrome, along with his four brothers and sisters. Iain now plays a significant role in helping to care for his 85 year old father. 

A preview of Emily Brooks's article is now published online. The print and iPad editions also include an interview and pictures with Andrew Rainsford (47) and his mother Cherry.

At the foot of the page is a short video of the Melbourne dance group, Emotion 21.
