Grace Tsang a Richmond Coalition party school board candidate in Richmond ( #SD 38) 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
Thanks Grace Tsang I hope other school board Trustees in Richmond 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 Her Emails Responding To One Of Our #IEPsForADHD Volunteers.
From Grace Tsang.
“Thanks for your email.
Currently, there is a shortage of Resource teachers and educational assistants to support special needs students in the classrooms. In addition, mental wellness is another key area to which I would like the BC government to address.
If elected, I will continue to advocate with the BC School Trustees Association to request both the BC and the Federal Government to prioritize funding and resources to address the concerns you raised.
By the way, my daughter is currently a part-time ELL and Resource teacher in Richmond. She goes to UBC every Monday afternoon to take a special education course. In fact, my daughter would like to complete her special education certificate to help students with ADHD and special needs.

“Thank you, Grace, for your prompt reply. I am glad to hear that you will address mental wellness to the government and that your daughter has a special interest in helping students with ADHD. However, Rob Fleming had promised to make ADHD a standalone category in special education since Dec 4, 2017. Will you promise to ask him to fulfil his promise, please?”
Grace Tsang
“Yes, I will.”
Thanks.

Thanks, Grace.
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
