Parents of Children with Autism - These cuts and change are to help with the HST. NOT!

Okay so Polak has flip flopped around with her reasoning on why she wants to screw with our children.

Previously she said that the EIBI was not proving to be effective. It turned out her data was three years old. Now she is saying she wants to spread the money around to be fair.

Okay two things:

1) The EIBI program was designed as a trial by the government to see if more than 8 hours a week made a significant difference. The study that was released showed beyond any doubt that it does. Okay study done. Let's roll it out to all. If anyone wants to see this study I will post it. (Stand by for a future post where I show the cost to society of not providing this therapy.) Her "spread it around equally" theory is also full of holes. What am I supposed to do with 2K? Even though 2K is of slight value to my son I think it is extremely unfair to the other 70 families who are now turned upside down. Mary, you can keep my 2K if it prevents the suffering of these other families.

2) Mary's other big argument is that: "Invoice funding will save parents money with the HST" Okay so let's look at exactly what was said by the government:

The introduction of HST in July, 2010, is another issue of some concern. It is clear that if parents were to remain on Direct Funding, they would be required to pay the HST in instances where GST is payable. However, government ANTICIPATES that as a result of the shift to Invoice Payment, families will not be impacted by the HST.

I have made the key word bold in case anyone did not see that governese. Do they think we are stupid??? Obviously.
