‘Every student, every day’ not just a motto for Sedgewick school
When Jordy Williams was born, mother Carol [Gordash] Williams and father James Williams, along with big sister Amber, were living in Calgary.
Carol started to notice Jordy was different from other children, and says when he was around 18 months, she was reading an article about autism in a family magazine, and realized that Jordy had six of the eight signs of the disorder.
“I’d never heard of autism,” she says. “Other than hearing people talk about the movie Rain Man.”
Williams was referred to a specialist, who confirmed the diagnosis, but she still didn’t fully understand what the disorder was, or how best to help Jordy.
