A Coquitlam spokesperson for a local autism support group is running for school trustee in the upcoming civic election.
Jodie Wickens (www.jodiewickens.com), who has appeared before the board of education seeking more specialized training for support workers who work with autistic children says she wants to represent the parents' voice in education. She has a son in Grade 2 and a daughter entering kindergarten. Her concern is that funding cuts will affect programs for vulnerable children.
