Life after finishing the sporting career

After the end of her career, the qualified elementary school teacher worked in a special education facility at the Linz Children's and Women's Clinic. Her protégés, who have problems at school and at home, inspired her to write her books, the fairy tale books. The children read part of the story and then have them draw into the book what they have just read. In this way you can check whether the children have understood what they have just read.
