My terse hot take tonight is that @Dave_Eby FA and FO. And we'll all suffer the consequences. (Some far more than others.) - 30 -

Dear @bcndp , stop with the narrative “vote for the NDP to prevent cuts.” You are already cutting therapy funding 33,000+ children with Autism. Your narrative sends the message “cuts are bad, unless they’re happening to disabled children, then we don’t care.” #bcpoli @Dave_Eby

Replying to @Dave_Eby
I’m inviting you to fix the regressive policies you’ve introduced the last two+ years so progressive voters CAN vote for you. One thing you can do; COMMIT to ensuring no child with a disability is left with less or no individualized therapy funding going forward. #bcpoli #bcelxn

Dear @BCNDP & @Dave_Eby, I've held HUGE amount of stress over years as mum of an autistic kid + support needs. I even moved to Van Isle at big sacrifice to work life. I don't know if I can forgive you for no family doctor + stopping the current #Autism Funding model. #bcpoli

We’ve emailed every candidate in the #bcpoli #bcelxn asking them to consider three commitments to families/caregivers of disabled children. Some have responded, some have not, & we understand campaigning is busy. Read the answers we’ve received here: bcfamiliesforfairautismfundi…

On February 20th, I met with the then Minister of Children and Family Development. During that meeting, she mentioned autism over-diagnosis to me in the context of why the new disability funding program is necessary. This is her quote: #bcpoli #bcelection #bcelxn

Even if this may be occurring, is gutting a program tens of thousands of Autistic children rely on for disability therapy the correct way to handle this problem?

Or should the Ministry have sought inclusion and expansion for other disabilities and greater needs WITHOUT knowingly causing more than 33,000 children with Autism to lose their individualized therapy funding?

Oh hey, it’s been a minute. I’m back here in a new unexpected capacity as an advocate for inclusion in the BC MCFD child and youth disability funding model. Long story short: THOUSANDS of kids with Autism and other disabilities stand to lose some or all of their therapy funding.

Then today, a parent, Natalie Woods, who had to fundraise $1400+ to get access to an FOI she filed in February, made the documents public. Her hard work can be found here: facebook.com/share/p/19hFNMW…

There are many staggering parts of Natalie Woods’ FOI results. The one that stands out for me is this. From August 2025. Proof that MCFD knew THEN 33,000+ kids would lose some or all individualized therapy funding under the new system. #bcpoli #bcelxn #bcelection
