Stephanie Nimmo

Disability Advocate

Steph blogs at www.wasthisintheplan.com about thriving and not just surviving when life doesn't quite shape up the way you had planned. She should know, with two autistic sons, a hormonal teenage daughter and a younger daughter who is life limited with a rare genetic syndrome she has become an accomplished plate spinner, advocate, nurse, spokesperson and campaigner, focusing on disability issues, Children's Palliative Care and Special Educational Needs. Life threw another curveball her way in November 2014 when her husband was diagnosed with incurable cancer. Steph writes honestly about how she and her family respond to life's challenges and shares her experiences about what she has learned on this unexpected white knuckle ride called life.
