2019 was a very challenging time in the Ontario Autism System as there was major public outcry over the Government Ontario trying to shift the systems to a fee based system that was not reflective on systems advocates, clinicians and the needs of families.
I was so honoured that my CEO, the Board of Directors and my peers, had faith in me to lead a tour of our offices by the Ministry of Children, Youth and Community Services as they tried to announce an important shift in direction. This was a very challenging introduction to lead given the public scrutiny. I am really proud of how I handled it, but most importantly that I lived my values in my written and spoken comments to the government, our organization, our valued partners and our dear families and children in need.
