Later this summer, Max Maman, 8, will no longer have access to the core clinical services for autism he's been receiving for four years as ErinoakKids discontinues its fee-for-service supports.As a child with severe — or what's known as profound — autism, he hasn't been able to attend school.
Families say they would have appreciated more consultation on the move, and point out other programs have years-long wait lists, making finding the supports they need elsewhere a huge challenge. Loewen and Garito both had high praise for the staff at the centre, adding the support they received also gave them tools to be better parents to their children.In a statement, ErinoakKids says it is not required to provide fee-for-service autism programs.
"Children with autism will continue to receive high quality evidence-based clinical support through the programs ErinoakKids is funded to provide, including diagnostic assessment, entry to school, caregiver mediated early years programming and urgent response services."ErinoakKids was unable to confirm whether staff would be laid off as a result of the change. The Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services says it provided $112.
The Official Opposition NDP laid the blame on a government they say is "more interested in helping themselves and their insider friends than real people in Ontario.
