Avril Webster - The Author of the Off We Go! Series PDF Print E-mail

I’m Avril, married to Robert and I’m Mum to 3 kids, Stephen, Michael and Rachel. Stephen has special needs (he has a rare chromosomal disorder). We can see he has lots in common with children on the autistic spectrum and children with down syndrome. As well being a Mum, I’m an advocate/lobbyist for those with disabilities. I feel strongly about the importance of including Stephen is as many everyday activities and I have created the Off We Go! series of books to help Stephen and kids like him manage with everyday events.

We live in Limerick Ireland. I am also involved in our parent support group at St Vincents Lisnagry, Limerick (where Stephen goes to school). Our group lobbies and fundraises for services for children and adults with disabilities. I am on the Consulting Group to open up university access to children with intellectual disabilities. We are also volunteers with Special Olympics Ireland.

I love to travel and see new places, I also love to cook and I’m interested in nutrition. I’m into all the usual ‘girlie’ stuff like shoes, fashion and chocolate! I support Munster, the best rugby team in the world.
