	Finance: Ontario's Largest Autism Service Provider Applauds Ruling on Autism Funding
	Posted by Sylvia on Sunday, May 08, 2005 (21:42:03) CNW Group 04/04/05 Kerry's Place Autism Services (KPAS) applauds the recent ruling by Justice Francis Kiteley that arbitrarily cutting off access to funding for behavioural analysis (ABA) based on age is discriminatory. "The decision as to the kind and level of support provided to each individual should be based on the individual's needs and likelihood of being able to benefit from the treatment rather than an arbitrary age cut- off," stated Dr. Glenn Rampton, KPAS's Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Rampton added that while it is true that the research evidence indicates that older children and their families are likely to profit more from a broader range of supports such as family support counselling, and respite, there is no research evidence that would argue for an across the board cut-off for ABA at age five or six. Dr. Rampton expressed concern that this was not the only area in which the government discriminates against individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), using as evidence the fact that the Ministry of Community and Social Services often refuses to allow developmental services' funding to be used to support extremely needy individuals with Asperger's Syndrome, because they don't score below a certain level on an I.Q. test. The individuals themselves, parents and service find such discrimination hard to understand and deal with, since providing a reasonable level of support is more cost effective in the long run. As in the situation with ABA in the early years, until now, the government has had a tendency to focus on short term savings rather than long term investment, and in particular, has not understood how important this is in addressing the special needs of individuals with ASD. Kerry's Place Autism Services provides a broad range of community outreach, clinical, vocational and accommodation support to more than 1000 individuals and their families across much of Southern Ontario. With a staff of more than 430, KPAS is by far the largest provider of such services across all age ranges in Ontario. For further information: please contact Dr. Glenn Rampton at (905) 841-6611 ext 306 or at grampton@kerrysplace.org.
