About Emily Lough
Emily Lough, Vice President and General Counsel at Cohu, was interviewed in 2011 about a pilot project providing specialized support for children with disabilities. Lough said the project had enabled positive relationships with her pilot partners and improved communication among them. She stated that the initiative allowed professionals to discuss the child as a whole rather than focusing separately on school and home activities. Lough expressed support for expanding the project provincewide. She also noted that she had observed children learning skills at school and generalizing them to the home, and she described the value of helping parents understand what their child is doing at school so those skills can be made functional at home.
