Advocates say they would like a larger portion of the Ontario Autism Program’s budget to go towards core services so that more children with autism can access the therapies they need. Their calls, which include having the education ministry take over the school-focused components of the program, follow a breakdown of program spending The Trillium obtained through a freedom of information request showing less than half of what the government spent on the Ontario Autism Program in 2023-24 went towards core clinical services — a “key element” of the province’s revamped program.

“I would like to see more kids getting core services,” said Alina Cameron, president of the Ontario Autism Coalition.
