CEO @dianne_martin @we_rpn describes horrific #moraldistress & #moralinjury that nurses live with d/t #nursingshortage. There is no end in sight d/t poor HHR planning & lack of a responsive HC system to meet the needs of patients. Great article @egpayne

The Ontario Ombudsman is investigating after funding for a complex special needs child in Toronto was cut by almost half. “We don’t know what to do. The system is so broken, we can’t navigate it anymore,” her mother tells me. Part 2 of our story: https://t.co/1MUN8kLIt9

Bring your signs, friends, & OAC spirit!
After 5 yrs of @OntarioPCParty over 50,000 children are STILL WAITING for the Autism Program! #NeedsBasedTherapy #50KIsNotOk #onpoli #cdnpoli #AutismIsLifelong

[ONTAutismCoalition @OntAutism]

Ontario school boards are dangerously underfunded & in response are axing vital special education capacity. THIS ISN'T OK! Those classes/supports are the only reason many of our kids can even be in school. WE SEE YOU @Sflecce & @fordnation.

➡️ If those findings are extrapolated to the 59,000 RPNs the College of Nurses says are registered in Ontario, more than 36,500 – nearly two thirds of the RPN workforce – are considering leaving.⬅️

Autism funding. #Autism treatments should be covered by OHIP. When I called for a status update on funding for our son. They can’t tell us where we are on the list. No plan, no transparency, no details.
Our application was made in 2019! Why is this so hard?

[Kerry Monaghan 🇨🇦💉❤️🔬😷 @ottawa_asd_mum]

If a school board is not adequately funded by the Ministry, they cannot acquire the resources to support a special needs child. If they don’t have adequate resources, the child will be sent home. This is a regular occurrence. But no one talks about it. #50KIsNotOK #onpoli

[Ontario Nurses' Association @ontarionurses]

ONA members held a die-in at Queen’s Park to draw attention to the dire state of Ontario’s public health care. If you #SupportNurses, tell @Fordnation & @Onthospitalassn it's time to give nurses & health-care professionals a better contract: https://t.co/fIN1LG2NJC

If you truly believe that when women succeed, Ontario succeeds, when will you start taking action on the #autism file, start putting money into it and start reducing that list so that women, who typically end up staying home with these kids, are able to be successful? #50kIsNotOk

[ONTAutismCoalition @OntAutism]

4 years + 4 PC ministers = over 50,000 kids waitlisted for Autism services.

This is what @fordnation calls "getting it done".

Doug Ford put highways before kids. He likes to talk about #gridlock. Well, our children are in GRIDLOCK!

Over 50K kids are stuck on the Ontario Autism Program Waitlist.
That waitlist isn’t moving.

We get it @fordnation, math is hard. Know what's harder? Watching an entire generation of kids get left behind bc of your lack of leadership. It's time to get the ON Autism Pgm up & running for ALL WAITLISTED CHILDREN & YOUTH in ON. #50KIsNotOK #onpoli #AutismIsLifelong

Time and time again, the government continues to make harmful choices that leave parents and children without support, information, and a way forward. Read the full statement from @ChandraPasma and I below:

PUT THIS ON BLAST! Mainstream classes aren't for everyone. Special needs classes are an integral part of inclusion for many high needs kids. PROTECT THEIR RIGHT TO A PROPERLY SUPPORTED EDUCATION! #NeedsBasedEdu #50KIsNotOK #onpoli #NeedsBasedTherapy #OAPTransparency
