How You Can Help The Autism Class Action Plaintiffs

Thanks to all of you who’ve shown an interest in our case. It’s been wonderful to see so many families come forward and offer support. We look forward to meeting you in person one day, perhaps at the hearing next week.

We’re sending this mailing in an effort to respond to some of your requests asking us to provide information on how you can support our case and the cause in general.

Here are just a few ideas:

Come down to the courthouse next week and attend the hearing. This will give an opportunity for the court to see the many faces of our community. The hearing is at the Court of Appeal for Ontario, 130 Queen St. West in Toronto.

Contact your local MPP by mail, email, telephone (see http://www.ontariotenants.ca:80/government/mpp.phtml for contact info) and share with them your situation and how you’d like them to help ensure that children with autism in Ontario have the publicly funded appropriate programs and services they need. Tell them about the ridiculous waitlists and how IBI and Education are mutually exclusive. Let them know that families are going to be in court next week on this matter and refer to our case.

Contact MPP Andrea Horwath, NDP autism critic with the same information:

Write to media about your situation. It is important for the public to be aware of what’s going on right here in our Province with our children who are some of the most vulnerable citizens we have. This will encourage them to research and report to the public. You can also reach out to media by writing letters to the editor in response to articles they write about autism. They appreciate feedback from the public and occasionally print the letters they receive. Here is the contact info for the editors for a few of the major papers:

We know many in our community are financially limited due to having to provide for our children’s programs but if any of you have the ability and would like to contribute financially to the case, you may do so by mailing in a cheque to our lawfirm:

Please indicate clearly on the cheque that the funds are for the Autism Class Action Lawsuit
