The author of this piece is the 1987 winner of the Christy Brown Award. He has won several awards for poetry in the past three years including the Spastic Society's Award and the Irish Schools Creative Writing Award. As Davoren cannot speak and has very limited physical movement he writes with the aid of a helper. Here he describes his transition from special school to his own local school.
