St. Thomas parents furious as kids with autism left without enough in-school support

Parents of some elementary school students in St. Thomas, Ont., worry the transfer of education assistants (EA) to other schools could have dire consequences for their children who have autism and require extra support in the classroom. They want the province to increase special education funding so school boards can hire more support staff for students with increased needs.
