Frances Oliver Twitter @Frances_oliver_ Fraser-Cascade SD78 school board candidate in Agassiz Harrison supports ADHD students in BC schools and will ask BC Education Minister Rob Fleming to follow through on his promise to ADHD students in BC to add ADHD as a stand-alone category in special education so ADHD students can get accommodations and IEP’s (Individual Education Programs.) #IEPsForADHD
And she has ADHD and the courage to come out of the #ADHDCloset! Wish more ADDers would, then it would be harder to others stigmatize, neglect, misdiagnose and harm us.
(1) Thank you for giving me a platform to speak on this. As a now university student with an ADD diagnoses myself, I personally hold students with learning difficulties extremely close to my heart. I will fight for them, for us in anyway that I can. #alted https://t.co/AYiyqeQKlB

Thanks @Frances_oliver I hope other school board Trustees in Fraser-Cascade will follow your lead and commit to asking BC Education Minister Rob Fleming when he will fulfil his promise to ADHD students add ADHD as a stand-alone category in special education that he made more than 10 months ago (December 4th, 2017).
Here are the tweets.
If elected will you commit to asking Minister Fleming when he’ll finally carry out his 10-month-old promise to add #ADHD as a standalone category in special education so ADHD students get #IEPsForADHD ? https://t.co/ZnvcJBPPfP #bced #sd78 #Agassiz pic.twitter.com/UswM2ySqy5

(2) As I am new to politics and the role a trustee plays I am still learning what our rights and limitations are, but if it is within my power to do so I will of course approach Minister Flemming on this matter.

You're welcome thanks for standing up for ADHD students in BC so many do not. Good that you have the courage to step out of the #ADHDCloset we adders get so neglected, under-resourced & stigmatized b/c so few have the courage to do so #IEPsForADHD #bced #bcpoli #SD78 #Agassiz

If you see any other political parties or independent school board candidates who have any policies on the biggest number of students with special needs, ADHD in their platform, please thank them and send me that information so I can post it online. Always important to reward good behaviour on ADHD because it is so rare by politicians
