10 Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, April 14, 2016 | Parents protest new autism funding Over the hill at age five? That's the message families of children with autism say they have been given by the province after receiving news that their fiveyear-olds can no longer hope for intensive therapy because they are too old. Premier Kathleen Wynn's recent $333-million funding announcement was heralded in the headlines this month as good news for families seeking help for children with autism. But parental reaction quickly turned into howls of protest. Tuesday at Queen's Park, and Friday in Richmond Hill and elsewhere in Ontario, families are protesting to let others know that the headlines don't tell the real story. It sounds good on paper: the province plans to invest funds over five years to revamp the Ontario Autism Program and reduce wait lists for Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) and Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA). With the new funding, 16,000 more children will receive the critical interventions they need each year, according to Peter Spadoni, with the Ministry of Children and Youth Services. ­ Kim Zarzour Read the entire story on yorkregion.com Stouffville United Music presents Stouffville District Secondary School Music Concert Stouffville United Church Spring Fling Market April 16th 10:00 am to 3:00 pm Baking · Hourly Silent Auction · Attic Treasures Books · Many Vendors · Children's Toys / Clothing · Lunch Counter Stouffville United Church SDSS Boston Tour Band SDSS Spartan Sound $5 at the Door.
