Shuffling through some boxes of documents today and came across a FACE wall poster. As Dawn Bowie said last December "we accomplished a lot". We weren't receiving funding from the Province of New Brunswick and were not restricted by government policy. We addressed the needs of children with early autism intervention; autism trained school aides and reversal of the decision to close the Stan Cassidy autism team. You probably won't see any mention of us in the Autism Connections Fredericton Library or in any ACF reports or Executive Director speeches. We didn't advocate for a centre or salaries for ouselves. We fought directly for evidence based services and treatments for autistic children, students, youth and adults. I am proud of what we did and what WE accomplished and I thank all parents who were involved. If anyone is a former FACE member please feel free to respond with a comment and your name.
