Thread – 8 thoughts on @ToddSmithPC Dec 17 Ontario Autism announcement
1/ April 2020 was a fantasy target date tied to the start of the govt fiscal year, there was NO PLAN.

2/ @ToddSmithPC frames his interim choice between wait list children getting nothing or a 1-time payment.
That’s a false choice.
He could have enrolled them into ABA with @Roman_Baber 30/hr wk cap.

3/ When directly asked if in-service children face an interruption in service, @ToddSmithPC doesn’t answer and deflects to implementation team. Promptly ends Q&A with press.
Families are left with uncertainty. Merry Christmas!

4/ @ToddSmithPC does not discuss implementation mandate details.
Here come the service caps and benchmarks with “no fewer than 5 levels of need” to be implemented.

5/ The Ontario Autism implementation working group has their work cut out for them to prevent the Care Coordinator from becoming the waitlist Churn Coordinator.
Get ready to fight against clinical decision’s being made by the CCs.

6/ There’s a lack of ABA representation on the Implementation working group.
Why did @ToddSmithPC under-represent the #1 sought after Core Service?

7/ The mandate of the Ontario Autism Implementation working group is not inclusive of all the advisory panel’s recommendations.
Will @ToddSmithPC address this?

8/ @ToddSmithPC : “No government has ever gotten this right, including our own.”
And you’re still not getting this right!
Hold yourself accountable and course correct. The stakes are simply too high not to.
