Re: Ontario Autism Program Changes

neurological disorder affecting 1 in every 94 children, as well as their friends, family and
community; and
WHEREAS Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is the scientific process based on
objective evaluation and empirically based interventions used to achieve meaningful,
generalizable and enduring behavioural change, and Intensive Behavioural Intervention

Service Offering (DSO) where children receive services directly from trained staff at
Ontario's nine regional service providers, and the Direct Funding Offering (DFO) where
parents receive funding directly in order to purchase services; and
WHEREAS the DFO model to provide services is used in Alberta, British Columbia and
imminently Saskatchewan. Such a model is clinically rigorous and has been identified
by the Auditor General of Ontario as being less expensive than Ontario's DSO model;
