The Ontario Autism Coalition says families are having a difficult time accessing consistent, reliable and transparent information about a new government program.
Kate Logue, who is a spokesperson for the coalition, says it doesn’t help that the minister in charge of the program that helps kids with autism has “ghosted” them.
The provincial government has been trying to enroll children with autism in the program since the summer and was unable to reach its target of providing funding to 8,000 families by the end of the fall, though it won’t say by how much.
Logue says the coalition has told government representatives that uptake is low because of disorganized ministry communications with the families, not disinterest in the program.
