One in every 66 children born in Canada is diagnosed with ASD, AKA Autism Spectrum Disorder. (autism speaks).

The costs associated with both caring for a child who has ASD and preparing them to be adults who can hopefully someday live independently are countless.

The Canadian and Provincial governments in so-called Canada have neglected to adequately and fairly serve children with ASD and their families.

In this episode of Outside The House, I meet with Tony Stravato, who has found both hope and comfort in his needs-based therapy advocacy work, and the unexpected community that grew out of it. He and his wife are parents to twin 7-year-old children who have both been diagnosed as living with ASD.

Join me as Tony shares how he's been fighting, alongside other parents, caregivers, and experts in the field for access and funding for needs-based therapy.
