    Cindy Lee does wonderful work. When students with special needs leave the Coquitlam School District with strong work prospects, it is a result of the guiding hand that she has provided.

    It is easy to miss what is going on here. Coquitlam created and funded her position some years ago with the explicit direction that she was to organize work placement for those secondary students in their district who lived with disabilities. This initiative was created at a time when many school districts across British Columbia were moving in the same direction. Most hired teachers or Para professionals to lead the employment training and placement.

    Over time, as budgets became tighter, these non enrolling positions across the province were abandoned. It was hoped that career development staff in the neighbourhood high schools would take over the role of work placement of students with disabilities along with all the other students. This has largely not happened as untrained teachers struggled with ever-increasing case loads. In the best case scenario, it has fallen back into the hands of the high school resource team. In many cases, work placement has ceased altogether for students who will graduate with an Evergreen Certificate.

    In the end, no matter how thoughtful our planning and how remarkable our good intentions, the successful movement of high school grads with disabilities into engaging lives will depend on a key dedicated staff, like Cindy, who will hold all the complex strands in her hand and tie them patiently together.
