Declare Autism Therapy as Medically Necessary in Canada, and Fund it Adequately
Declare Autism Therapy as Medically Necessary in Canada, and Fund it Adequately
The Issue
12 US states have deemed autism therapy as a medically necessary treatment, and the United Kingdom has established a federally funded autism program via their National Health Service (NHS). It's time for Canada as a nation to adopt a federally funded autism program, declare autism therapy as medically necessary under the conditions of the Canada Health Act, and set a positive example for the rest of the world to follow as it pertains to diagnosing and treating autism spectrum disorder.
