	On her return to Sydney, Helen became involved in the start of the de-institutionalisation program in New South Wales. Becoming interested in exercise and nutrition, she decided to investigate how exercise could assist people with a disability. After obtaining a Master of Public Health, RNSH allowed her to start a health promotion clinic for adults with developmental disability. This was soon enhanced by the arrival of a dietitian, Lyn Stewart, and an exercise physiologist, Caroline Bruce. Of their involvement, Helen says, “It was obvious to me that my colleagues, using nutrition and exercise, improved health faster than I did.” She describes this time as one of “fanatical adherence to the philosophy of normalisation – all people with disabilities should live in the community, whatever their special needs, and participate in all community activities”.

	In her postgraduate studies in public health, Helen applied epidemiology to the little-studied burden of disease in patients in whom she noticed diverse chronic and complex health problems. She obtained a Research and Development Grant from the Commonwealth Department of Community Services and Health for the first population study of health disorders in people with intellectual disability. This showed that, of a random sample of 202 adults with intellectual disability, each had an average of 5.4 medical disorders, half of which had not previously been detected.

	After doing the odd locum and some general practice, Helen married a naval aviator and had six children, removing her from the medical profession for 13 years. Returning to Sydney from Perth, she went to Royal North Shore Hospital (RNSH) and asked to do a refresher course by attending outpatient clinics. After some difficulty getting a job, Helen began at Grosvenor Diagnostic Centre, assessing children with intellectual disability. The medical officers were at the fringe of a revolution in genetics, constantly learning about recently discovered syndromes and how to identify these as the underlying causes of the conditions in their patients.
