Provide OAP funding directly to families rather than through regional providers. Families choose their own therapists and services. BC's model serves 80% of eligible children within 12 months vs Ontario's 28% in 5+ years.

Replace the 5-tier needs assessment with universal access to 20-40 hours/week for all children under 6. WHO recommendations should not be means-tested. Needs assessment creates delays and inconsistent access.

Massive investment in training BCBAs, RBTs, and therapists. Fund university programs, provide student loan forgiveness, create accelerated pathways, and recruit internationally. Current capacity cannot meet demand.

Provide ALL families on waitlist with immediate services: $5,000/month direct funding, caregiver training workshops, telehealth coaching, and respite support. No child should wait 5+ years for ANY support.

Legislate maximum wait times (90 days from diagnosis to service), service guarantees, and appeal rights. Families denied timely service should have legal recourse. Make service standards enforceable through human rights law.

Create independent, arms-length intake agency separate from service delivery. Eliminate conflicts of interest. Fast-track appeals and reallocation of funding. Independent clinical review of funding decisions.
