Verna O'Coin Memorial Bursary

Verna O’Coin was a much loved and respected member of the education community in New Brunswick. She will be fondly remembered for her many years of dedicated work in special needs education, and particularly for her work with those living with Autism. She had a true gift for caring for learners and their families, and for developing programs that would improve the lives of those children with whom she worked. She had enthusiasm for helping other professionals gain new skills to empower them to make a difference in children’s lives.

In honour of Verna’s contribution to special education, and the promotion and dissemination of evidence-based interventions, the education community, along with the Atlantic Provinces Association for Behaviour Analysis have established the Verna O’Coin Memorial Bursary.
