OAC press conference about school safety this morning at Queen's Park. 10 AM. Tune in here: www.ola.org/en/legislati...

This week marked the 6th anniversary of Doug Ford & Lisa MacLeod demolishing the Ontario Autism Program. There are still OVER 50K autistic children waitlisted for support.

Ask the Ontario provincial election candidates why.

The Ontario Ford government is generating longer waitlists #NotOnTimeNotOnBudget

Over 50,000 vulnerable kids are STILL waiting for access to core autism services via the Ontario Autism Program. It’s been over 6 years. Tick tock.

I see your Scottie and I raise you a vampire Scottie

Did I get a flu vaccine this fall? YES.

Did I get a COVID-19 Vaccine this fall? ALSO, YES.

There’s a BIG circle of care around my family (2 schools, a work place, therapy centre, respite workers, all of our extracurriculars) & I feel a great responsibility towards everyone’s health. #vaccineswork

Did you know: the #OntarioAutismProgram STILL isn’t fixed.

In 2018 the Ontario Govt made a mess of it. 6+ yrs later they haven’t come up w a program that meets needs & it’s leaving 50,000 kids waitlisted for time sensitive services.

Friday facts:

In Ontario, Canada, there are over 73,000 children/youth registered for the #OntarioAutismProgram

50,000+ of them are waitlisted. Average wait is presently 5-7 years.

Early intervention is dead.
