The situation involving children with Autism in BC has gone
from bad to worse. In yesterday's throne speech the BC
Liberal Government led by Premier Gordon Campbell announced
funding to establish a new Autism Education Center For
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder which will "provide
a residential environment for children with autism and
create a national hub for research and a centre for
parental supports."

Disability advocacy groups voiced their outrage at the
decision saying "Everyone, regardless of who they are and
what their abilities may be has a right to a fully
inclusive education with a chance to fully partipate and
intregate with their broader community" Reopening
segregated schools will turn the clock back 40 years; a
time when institutionaliztion and community segregation of
disabled children and adults was widespread in BC and
throughout much of North America and the world.
