By: Rethink Ed According to Jacquie Petrusman, Australia's Minister for Human Services, "Tasmanians living with ASD should have every opportunity to reach their goals and achieve their full potential. The Hodgman Liberal Government is committed to providing improved support for [these] Tasmanians." Lee-Anne Smith, a Lead Coordinator for the program at Geneva Christian College in Tasmania, Australia, is delighted with her program's success and direction, noting that the added value has been noticed. "The program," she says, "provides suggested teaching strategies and plans. All planning is generated but can be adjusted to suit the specific needs of the student. The resources are amazing and goals/planning are aligned to the Australian curriculum." "We are very pleased," says Diana Frezza, Rethink Ed Senior Vice President, "that Rethink Ed has been selected by the Australian government and the Ministry of Human Services to serve such an integral role as Tasmania steps into the forefront of Australian special education."
