Toronto - March 21, 2019 - On Thursday, the Ford government and Minister Lisa MacLeod got the hopes of parents of children with autism up for a moment - only to tear them back down again with an announcement that leaves Ford's devastating cuts to autism supports for children in place. NDP Critic for Children Monique Taylor released the following statement:

"The government's new autism scheme rips care and support away from children, and Thursday's adjustment is yet another cold, cruel failure that will leave children without.

Under the Ford Conservative program, thousands of children will still be forced to go without support, because their families can't afford it - a devastating blow to their lives and their futures.

The tweaks announced Thursday don't do much to repair the devastation the Ford Conservatives have forced on families of children with autism. Our message to Doug Ford is: don't try to fix the unfixable. Parents don't want tweaks to a bad plan - they want a new plan.

Clearly, the pressure families are putting on the government to fix this is having an impact. Their love for their children is beautiful, and the NDP is going to keep standing with them until this program is fixed, and all children living with autism get the evidence-based and needs-based supports they require to progress, thrive, and build their best lives."
