Thread: 8 things @ToddSmithPC can do to course correct the interim Ontario Autism Program plan:
1. Make the interim program needs based. Either thru extending legacy program or by making budgets renewable.

2. Address the poor uptake on Childhood Budgets. Does the @ChildrenON know why there was a mere 22.5% uptake? What are they doing different to ensure success this time around? Otherwise only 135 out of 600 monthly invites will receive cheques.

3. Illustrate the interim plan up to April 2020. Publish a plan that shows high level what's happening between now and April. Show key milestones, and then provide updates on progress. Be transparent on what's happening!

4. Communicate the April 2020 program scope and manage expectations. What precisely will be delivered by April 2020, and what elements will take longer? Most feel @Sflecce and @celliottability responsibilities are longer term, or are they?

5. Make the Ontario Autism Program website the trusted source for info. Trying to keep up on the latest is difficult as info is spread thru listening events or leaked thru social media. This causes confusion and undue stress. Use your website.

6. Address the waitlist(s) issue with greater clarity. I used to check our waitlist position thru regional provider. Who is maintaining "the list" now? Does @ChildrenON have a master list? How can we verify the integrity of the waitlist data?

7. Release a summary of the Ontario Autism Consultation Online Survey results. Final submissions were at the end of May 2019. When can we expect transparency on the survey results?

8. Do not have a permanent autism advisory panel. Unaccountable permanent panels working behind NDAs has been tried before, with bad results for the community. Remember RAPON? You have a public service, enable them.
