I want to congratulate the government also for all the changes that they are making especially Gordon Campbell & Christy Clark. I feel they are doing their best to gradually clean up the health care system. We all need patience!

James has been in the hospital so I have been under extreme stress, so I need to learn more patience towards the government–helping out our Autistic children, and hoping and praying that the older children will get whats due them too.

Regards,

Linda Cucek, James mom

Our children now will begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel, we still have lots of work to do to make sure the promise is kept by the Liberal Party, but now our children can go forward with a new light and glimmer of hope and so we set a new trail blaze to win the treatment for all our children "Lovaas. I am thrilled of the new government.

Freedom is near for our families and children…

Just a note regarding the Sun Press release as follows:

Campbell received a big hug from a Port Moody mother Monday night when he promised to look into her son's health care needs.
Linda Cucek, said her autistic son James, 16, requires an intensive therapy called the Lovaas treatment to improve his quality of life, but didn't receive it under the NDP. "Hang in there, it will get taken care of," said Campbell during a campaign stop in Port Moody. "We're going to make sure that parents have the opportunity to get the treatment for their children they think is most appopriate.

Letter I mailed to Now Paper:

ATT: Now newspaper

Autism is a neurologic disorder that adversely affects virtually every aspect of daily life. The deficits of autistic individuals are most acute in regard to communication and socialization skills. There is no cure for autism, but strategies do exist that work to dramatically improve the challenges of day-to-day functioning. Families living with autism have been advocating for years to achieve these highly effective services for their children, even going as far as taking the NDP government all the way to BC’s Supreme Court. Last July, there was a landmark decision by BC Supreme Court's Madame Justice Marion Allen that favored the constitutional rights of autistic children. Justice Allen's findings deemed that the ABA/Lovaas treatment therapy was indeed a "medically-necessary" service, and found that the NDP government was guilty of discrimination against autistic children for not providing such. The NDP's response to these findings was to appeal the decision thereby indefinitely suspending any forthcoming justice for the province's autistic children. At the April 23rd provincial Liberal political rally here in Port Moody, I had the honor and opportunity, "on-camera (Canadian Press)" no less, to ask Mr. Campbell directly, if a provincial Liberal government would make the Lovaas autism treatment available to my 16-year-old son, James.
Mr. Campbell's response? He gave me a hug, and told me "YES"!!
I couldn't help myself, I started to cry……Gordon Campbell's personal response is truly significant….quite simply, it replaces hardship with hope.
I would like to encourage every voter to cast their ballot in the favor of such compassion and common sense, and VOTE LIBERAL !!

James and I want to thank Sabrina Freeman, on her comments on the Global News last night.

James was compared to Glen Gould, a famous Canadian piano player. This was great for my son James' his self esteem is much higher now.
The Global news said James' was a piano Genius.

Thanks again to Sabrina.

Your friends, Linda Cucek and son James
