Ontario fell thousands short of its autism program target, new figures show
The figures are a far cry from the promise the province made to the families of children with autism at the end of 2021.
“The government is on track to meeting its commitment of providing 8,000 children with funding for core clinical services by fall 2022.”In a statement to Global News, the Ford government argued it had not missed its target.“We can confirm that we have met our target of enrolling 8,000 children and youth in core clinical services,” a spokesperson said. “Moving forward, our government remains focused on registering as many children and youth with AccessOAP as quickly as possible.
The target referenced by the province was to “enroll” 8,000 children and young people in services, with no reference to a time frame.
