In Benalla, country Victoria you will find a school that is rather different to any school in Australia. The EdSpace Education and Training Centre was set up in 2008 when nurse Maggie Fanning, her GP husband David Rodgers and friend Jenny Wellard, decided to open a specialist school for children who were falling through the cracks. It was the logical answer to the challenges Fanning was facing with her son who has autism and developmental difficulties.
