New Brunswick and other Atlantic Provinces have strong historical ties to Ireland as many of our citizens arrived here escaping the destitution of mid-19th Century Ireland. Their descendants, including the occasional autism blogger, form a significant part of the local population today. We also have in common a reluctance on the part of government decision makers are to take the necessary action to provide needed ABA based educational instruction to autistic persons.
Autism protesters slam funding of specialist education
Several hundred parents and supporters have protested outside Leinster House over the Government's failure to properly fund applied behavioural analysis schools for autistic persons.
Three hundred and forty-seven black balloons, one for each child currently on waiting lists for ABA schools, were released into the air outside the main gates of Leinster House.
Irish Autism Action spokesperson, Mark De Silvo, said the Government is out of touch when it comes to education for those with autism.
