Autism Society weighs in on how well NL's schools are meeting the needs of children with disabilities

CBC Newfoundland Morning

Back to school promises new beginnings and fresh starts, but last week some families who have children with disabilities found themselves facing a familiar battle. The return to the classroom for their children led to the discovery that the supports available to help weren't adequate. On Friday, we heard from Terri Lynn Herritt whose son, Theo, is in Grade 3 and has autism and ADHD. Today, we spoke with Leah Farrell. advocacy manager at the Autism Society of Newfoundland and Labrador.
