Another eloquent article that directly ties to our Pillar - Delivery. Core health needs & supportive housing should never be subject to discretionary budgets under #MCFD / #MCSS. Demand ⬆️50% but no projected budget growth is cruel. #bcpoli #FundFamiliesNotMCFD #50kIsNotOK

Powerful article - Service provider coalition joins the calls for expanding Individialized Funding to other #disability diagnoses. tinyurl.com/2eh9dpxz #bcpoli #autism #dignity #MCFD #HumanRightsViolations #FundFamiliesNotMCFD #50kIsNotOK #LockedBehindWaitlists @bcndp
Actions have consequences; so does inaction. #ONPoli is seeing impacts of ignoring the "Pay Now or Pay Later" report. There is a better way! Expand #autism Funding to other #disability groups. #bcpoli can be proactive. #FundFamiliesNotMCFD #50kIsNotOK vm.tiktok.com/ZMrsvKhtQ/
As we've said before - there's a way to address this. Eliminate the double standard between public and private assessments, and allow one qualified specialist to assess (as research supports). Reserve the multi-disciplinary teams for more complex cases.
No family should have to sell lemonade to get a timely autism assessment for their child. The province must increase the number of specialists to reduce wait times and unlock vital resources for children. #bcpoli @BCASDAdvocacy @CAFofBC @pacificautism cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

There's a way to address this - modifying the BC guidelines & eliminating the double standard between public vs private assessments. One qualified specialist (pediatrician, psychiatrist, or psychologist), whether private or public, should be sufficient to make a diagnosis #bcpoli
@CQualtro Do they also have a right to access PT, OT ? Children here in BC use At Home Program or #Autism Funds to pay for these therapies, but not at #disability groups who need it qualify for these programs. We need to expand Individual Funding #FundFamiliesNotMCFD #bcpoli #Healthcare

Grateful to this Dad for speaking up - there is little or no discourse around complex kids. These diagnoses are core health and should be treated as such - social services is not appropriate. #FundFamiliesNotMCFD #BCPOLI @adriandix @Dave_Eby @GraceALore @bcndp
