Ontario to consult parents of children with autism following months of controversy
Ontario will consult parents of children with autism starting on May 1 after months of controversy over changes to the government's original program.
The announcement comes on World Autism Awareness Day and a day after changes that the government made to its autism program came into effect. It also follows a backlash over those changes.
Lisa MacLeod, minister of children, community and social services, told reporters in Toronto that the consultations will help inform the government on ways it can better support children and teenagers with autism who have complex needs.
She called it an "important listening exercise."
