A mother from Kingston, Ont., is asking the provincial government for help after she says she hasn’t received funding in months for her son who has autism.
Cynthia Honeywell is a single mother, working full time from home while also taking care of her 13-year-old son Benjamin. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all programs for children with autism are suspended, which makes funding that much more critical. “I know that some share my sentiments that special needs family have been forgotten a bit.
This is a difficult logistic for any normative child and for a child that has special requirements it’s additionally hard,” says Honeywell.
