Even though I am not usually one to blow my own trumpet, as the saying goes, I realised the other day, that I have edited and published a few books, some when I was Librarian at the Foundation for Conductive Education, and even more since I was retired. For years I had been saying that more should have been written and published on Conductive Education and somehow I have become involved in doing exactly that!
These have been:
- Setting up and editing a twice-a-year journal, Recent Advances in Conductive Education that ran from 2001 to 2009
- Co-editing and/or publishing six books plus another to be published in 2012.

Not bad going! This was not a planned career move ( nor was that retirement). It seems to have ‘just happened’ and will, I hope, continue..
