Ontario announces $25 M new funding for ABA

The Ontario government announced $25 million in new funding for ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) therapy for autistic children yesterday.

The program is intended to benefit 8,000 children, although there has been no news about how these funds will be distributed. A current program, funded with $115 million, is currently treating 1,450 children with IBI therapy (Intensive Behaviour Intervention), while about 1,600 are on a waiting list.
