Thanks @estiemgonzalez I hope other school board Trustees in Vancouver 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.

@estiemgonzalez Do we have your support for #ADHD students?

Yes, my son was diagnosed with mild ADHD so I understand the issues.

I would like to know where he stands on this now, a year+ into his position. We need an overhaul as to how we are assessing and teaching kids with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, etc. I would work with our trustees to get this conversation going.

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
