Mary Brake’s Inclusive Programs is based in northern Tasmania; however programs are adopted and embedded in many schools throughout the state and also nationally. Through the recent publication of her book Your Stage, Mary Brake’s Inclusive Programs have been embraced internationally.
"Hi Mary I went to check my mail and I found your parcel!!! I was so unbelievably excited, and spent all afternoon reading it. You're brilliant! So passionate and empathetic. There are so many children out there who will benefit from your program. And not just the program but from your amazing words about the rights of children to feel like they belong and the fact that their contributions (in whatever form) should be encouraged and valued. The world is lucky to have you in it Mary Brake. I'm sure that your excitement for your work will spread to so many other professionals - your very own revolution!!"
