[Kerry Durand-Shea @SheaDurand]

@unlearn16tweet @YouTube Grandma is 94 and needs support. We have had to step it up, do to a IUT that was effecting her mental health, but this is burning out our family. Sorry burnt out to begin with. Public is 5-7 year wait list. I wish we could afford good help

We See You @Sflecce @fordnation
CheckList
✔️Forcing my Children back into the public school system by not allowing OAP funding to cover their ABA/AcademicProgram
✔️Forcing an increase of children needing ClassRm support back into the public system
✔️Cut Special Ed Capacity
NotOk

[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.

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

The @OntAutism supports Bill 74! This is a non-partisan, common sense bill and there is no reason for it to be stalled out in committee. LET'S GO @fordnation! GET IT DONE!

A child who is ENROLLED with AccessOAP is not the same as a child IN SERVICE. @fordnation failed to bring 8,000 children INTO SERVICE within the 18 month+ timeline by “Fall 2022”. It will take until September for those children to receive funding. @MichaelParsa #50KIsNotOk

Not allowing #Triplets 2 use OAP Funding 4 program currently enrolled/having success

New OAP plan is forcing us to change up the #Triplets ABA/Education program
@OntarioPCParty #OAP @ChildrenON is asking us to
1. Decrease ABA Hours
2. Decrease Educational Hours
3. Forcing enrollment into the public System @ONeducation
@MPPBarnesAjax

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

3000+ children in the former OAP will have their funding drastically reduced starting April 1. They will be forced into classrooms, some for the first time ever. These children have significant need. Has @ChildrenON briefed @ONeducation on this imminent transition? Will supports

[Kerry Durand-Shea @SheaDurand]

Had a Friend ask about Autism support in Ontario, she was thinking to move this way. She is going to stay in her province where she is getting support.

This does not look good.

We are not even a year into the launch of Core Services and already expense processing is behind. This is occurring with only a small number of families submitting expenses. The ability to reconcile and access subsequent payments is critical to continuity of care— how is this
