B.C.'s changes to disability funding for families draws mixed reaction
Parents are responding with mixed reactions to the province's new funding model for children with disabilities. Those with children who have autism worry their funding may be reduced, while parents of kids with other support needs say they'll now be able to access resources for the first time. We hear from representatives for Autism B.C. and Down Syndrome B.C. for their perspective on the changes. We also get the government's rationale from Minister of Children and Family Development Jodie Wickens, and ask listeners how the changes to funding may affect their families.
