MOTION
Moved by Councillor S. Menard
Seconded by Councillor C. McKenney
WHEREAS according to the Public Health Agency of Canada and the
Canadian Medical Association Journal, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of
the most common developmental disabilities in Canada with 1 in 66 children
diagnosed and approximately 1% of the Canadian population affected by ASD,
which means there are approximately 100,000 Ontarians on the autism spectrum;
and,
WHEREAS ASD is a life-long neurological disorder that affects the
way a person communicates and relates to the people and world around them; and,
WHEREAS the Provincial Government introduced new service delivery
approaches intended to address waitlists for treatment and other challenges
within the existing ASD support system in February; and,
WHEREAS considerable concerns have been expressed about these
funding and program changes by a broad variety of stakeholders in the City of
Ottawa including physicians, educators, therapists, clinicians, parents; and,
WHEREAS these concerns speak to such matters as the inadequacy of
funding, inflexibility of treatment programs and lack of appropriate training
and resources within classrooms that will be expected to support ASD students –
any of which can detrimentally affect families across Ontario including those
in Ottawa; and,
WHEREAS pressure from families across Ontario has led the provincial
government to begin reconsidering their plan; and,
WHEREAS the provincial government has, for example, yet to reverse
its decision on ignoring clinical need, and on introducing an age cap,
regarding funding for autism therapy; and,
WHEREAS comprehensive and meaningful consultations with community
members affected by the provincial government's proposed changes have yet to
occur; and,
WHEREAS other municipalities, such as the City of Toronto, have
passed similar motions;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Ottawa formally request
that the Minister of Children, Community and Social Services fully suspend
implementation of its planned changes to the Ontario autism program pending
meaningful consultation with a broad range of relevant stakeholders, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City encourages revisions to the
program to ensure that autistic children in Ottawa (an estimated 3,400 children
up to 19 years old and 1,000 young adults 20-24 years old) receive the support
they need, and emphasize the long-term consequences to the City and families
such as the over-representation of undiagnosed and/or untreated autistic adults
in the homeless population and amongst those with addiction and mental health
issues.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be forwarded
to Premier Ford, Minister Mulroney and the Association of Municipalities of
Ontario.
