You may remember my recent posting about my colleague April Ennis. Well there is some additional information to share about other challenges that April and her family are also facing. It seems that Kindergarten is not the only struggle she is having with the PEI Government.
April has two wonderful boys named Brandon and Benjamin. Both of the boys have been diagnosed with Autism. April and her husband Robert have been having ongoing difficulties in PEI in obtaining the necessary Autism related supports and services for their children.
Read from April’s recent posting below:
Oh BTW – while the government is continuing to talk among themselves, my Board Certified Autism Consultant from Toronto will begin working with the boys this week. Without an answer regarding the proposal we do not know where the funds will come, and in return increases the stress placed upon our family to provide appropriate treatment for our children.
April has been doing a great job updating her blog on the challenges they are facing as a family. I am amazed at the ongoing energy and commitment that she has to make PEI a better place for not only her own children, but for other Island families whose children also have Autism.
