Hi, I'm Reg Mombassa, and welcome to physical as anything dot com! This is the latest edition of Physical as Anything, a resource for teachers, parents, and healthcare professionals.

The site provides information about more than 50 medical, developmental, and psychological conditions affecting children and young people, and describes the implications of each condition for students' education.

Some kids need a little bit more support than others and for kids with one of these conditions, everyday things such as going to school can present a whole lot of challenges. In this great new website, physical as anything dot com, teachers, parents and healthcare professionals can find out how to give these kids a hand. It's written in plain English and has heaps of resources to help support these students in their learning.

It's been created by professionals from The Children's Hospital at Westmead and the New South Wales Department of Education and Training.

All the contributors – and there are more than 50 of them – are recognised as experts in their fields, and all the information they've provided has been checked to make sure it's easy to understand, accurate, and up to date. Check out the index of conditions on the top of the front page to find the condition you're interested in.

I painted the picture that's on the front page of the website, and I've been proudly associated with Physical As Anything since the first edition was published in 1996. Welcome to physical as anything dot com! Come in and have a look around!
