Brittany Heath lives with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis , also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and is no longer able to walk unassisted or freely use her arms. She gave up driving six years ago due to her illness and has found it difficult to get her children, ages 4 and 6, safely to school when her husband is unavailable to help due to work obligations.She told CP24.
“There’s no reason why they cannot accommodate us. It’s plain discrimination,” Heath alleged in an interview with CP24.com. In a statement provided to CP24.com on Thursday evening, DSTS said that they “recognize this family's situation poses some challenges" pointing to “temporary accommodation” that was made last year to “give them time to find alternate arrangements as their residence is outside the transportation boundary.”
“We try to help where we can, like we did last year to provide the family with a one-time exception based on our policy to give them some time to adjust.”
