Accessing an autism assessment in #BC takes years right now. Lowering the wait time for an autism assessment so families can figure out what path they are on to best support their child is crucial. #BCpoli @CAFofBC

70% of Canadian adults with an intellectual or developmental disability live in poverty. The hard-won CDB is intended to help alleviate this, and the BC gov’t must assure them that provincial clawbacks won't undermine this goal. thetyee.ca/News/2024/03/0…
This is a dear friend of mine. This is yet another story of how broken our medical system is in BC & how dangerous it can be for neurodiverse children and the barriers our children face. Our medical system is in dire need of change. @Dave_Eby @adriandix @CCurrieadvocate @CAFofBC

Thank you @KevinFalcon for speaking up on this. The system is a broken one for victims of sexual assault. Repeat sex offenders should NEVER have access like this. NEVER. @Dave_Eby #bcpoli

Learning assessments ❎️take between 1.5 to 3 years ❎️if you go private costs 2K-5K. Diagnosing #disabilities can take years w/o timely access to primary care. We need to address the lack of timely access to testing and the hardship on staff and students. @TeamCurrieESC

BC’s child protection workers aren’t independently regulated, and they don’t even need a social work degree. Minister Lore can take action today, and start creating greater oversight and accountability.
.@KevinFalcon also raised this horrific story reported by @CHEK_News about Oliver Ratchford, a child who was put into foster care and drowned in a pool days later. “The family deserves answers but so does the public about what on earth is going on in that ministry?” Falcon asked

The @bcndp aren't willing to fund their own Pilot project Hubs/Family Connection Centres. Families are willing and able to stretch that funding for services, not overhead. #fundfamiliesnotmcfd #50KIsNotOk #lockedbehindwaitlists #disability #disabilityrights #bcpoli

I am sick to death of sitting in rooms full of parents trying to change an @bcedplan system from the outside. The inclusive ed is not the problem. Nor are the kids. We need to fix the system. And the system is ignoring us completely right now. Will it take legal action?
