Ontario Greens Deputy Leader Aislinn Clancy has criticized Premier Doug Ford’s government for its inadequate support of the Ontario Autism Program, revealing that only 20% of registered children received funding for essential therapies by the end of 2023. Clancy argues that the growing waitlist for core services reflects a failure to meet the needs of families, who are left waiting years for assistance. She urges the government to implement a needs-based autism program and invest meaningfully in the future of children with autism, echoing proposals from the Ontario Autism Coalition.
