Ontario dad says program for kids with disabilities has run out of cash for the year

An Ontario dad is calling on the government to be honest with parents after he says he was told this week that a provincial program for children with disabilities had run out of cash for the year. In July, Moffatt found out his son was eligible – though not officially accepted – to the program according to a letter from the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services. And since then, Moffatt said he and his wife have been playing voicemail phone tag with the ministry, trying to find out the status of their son’s application. The answer came in a phone call this week, when Moffatt said he was told the program had run out of money for the rest of the fiscal year, and that he’d have to wait until at least the spring to get help.
