TORONTO, ONT. -- Ontario is putting more than $62 million in its autism budget this year to make services more available, as the province works to shore up its delayed revamp of the program. The government announced that the money will go toward initiatives such as grants for service providers to hire new clinical staff, increase hours for existing staff, and travel to serve kids in rural or remote communities. Families and providers have said that there has been a diminished capacity in recent years, particularly during the pandemic - with less service able to be offered even as the wait list grows.
