We Did the Research. Here's What We Found.
When the Ministry announced these changes, they came with promises. More children supported. More funding. A fairer system. We went looking for the evidence behind those promises, and what we found raised serious questions.
We know you are already carrying a lot. The last thing you need is to wade through government documents trying to figure out if the numbers add up. So we did it for you. This page contains our independent research and analysis of the funding changes — broken down plainly, sourced carefully, and updated as new information becomes available.
Everything here is documented, cited, and grounded in evidence. Knowledge is one of the most powerful tools we have right now. We are sharing all of it with you.
An Open Letter to BC Educators
March 2027 will end individualized Autism funding for more than 20,000 BC children. The province says classrooms won't feel it. Every educator working with Autistic students knows otherwise — and the provincial budget is being finalized right now. Here's what's at stake, and why we built A Teacher's Voice to put classroom reality in front of decision-makers before the legislature breaks for summer.
Foreseeable Harm
A seven-day archive of the Foreseeable Harm campaign slides — the Ministry's documents, the peer-reviewed research, and what comes next.
A Promise Made. A Promise Broken. 29,500 Families Are Still Waiting.
In November 2022, Premier Eby personally promised to maintain individual funding for Autistic children past 2025. On February 10, 2026, that promise was broken.
Our Review of the 2026 Changes
The BC government redesigned how disability supports reach children and youth. For thousands of Autism and disability families in this province, the details tell a very different story than the headlines.
Did the ministry actually listen?
Between 2023 and 2025, the BC government ran its largest-ever public engagement on disability support reform. Families, service providers, and advocates were clear about what needed to change. This is a comparison of what they asked for — and what the 2026 Child and Youth with Service Needs framework delivered.
Children excluded by opinion
The BC government removed direct funding from thousands of correctly diagnosed Level 1 and Level 2 Autistic children — with no published study, no audit, no named expert, and no clinical review of a single affected child.
Replaced by Paperwork
A $797 Million Structural Shortfall. The Community Based Service model is funded at only 10.5 cents for every dollar needed for quality care. This is not a gap that can be navigated around — it guarantees that therapy gets replaced by paperwork.
