The reports included either recommendations alone or in conjunction with written programs for the students. This qualitative descriptive study employed in-depth semistructured interviews to gather the perspectives of four school teachers from primary schools in the southern suburbs of Adelaide. The interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and analysed using a thematic inductive approach. Four themes emerged from the data in relation to teachers' perceptions of the reports: (i) Understandable but not always useful; (ii) It's important ... we can't do it all; (iii) We never actually speak; and (iv) It's probably impossible but ... in an ideal world. The research findings provide an insight into the professional relationship between education and health professionals in the presence of minimal collaboration. The participants in this study described the occupational therapy reports as useful but they all wanted a higher level of interaction with therapists. The participants also gave suggestions for improving the current procedure to increase collaboration between health and education professionals. Such improvements could enhance educational outcomes for South Australian children with a disability.

As such, it provides an overview of key issues which have been identified in relation to GLBTI ageing in Australian and overseas research. As this is an issue which has received scant attention in Australia, contextual issues which demonstrate the importance of law reform which challenges invisibility, heteronormativity and discrimination in relation to GLBTI ageing, are presented. As such, this paper provides an overview of such contextual issues, as well as raising specific issues of concern in relation to law reform, including the recognition of partnerships, which impact seriously on the lives of older GLBTI people in Australia. The proposed legislation, seeking to outlaw discrimination based on age, can only be effective if it builds on a legislative and policy base of recognition of the discrimination faced by older GLBTI people across A...

Through the employment of narrative material a classification of the powerful stereotyping imposed upon these women is produced. The components of the stereotype are gathered together under three headings - social, physical and mental.
