"In Ontario, the current government has failed children with autism by
denying them full and immediate access to (treatment) within the school system,"
Laura Kirby-McIntosh a member of the coalition’s executive, said in a news
release, adding there are now more than 1,000 on the waiting list for
treatment.

The coalition wants political parties to commit to:

• allowing IBI (intensive Behavioural Intervention) therapists entry into the
school system;

• eliminating the wait list and fund services for all children with
autism;

• developing a system of credentials and training and recruitment system for
those who administer autism therapy.

In York Region, the coalition will hold an event in front of Greg Sorbara’s
office at Unit AU8-140 Woodbridge Ave. in Woodbridge from 1 p.m. to 3
p.m.
