More help with writing the paper including questions the paper must answer:
Identify all of the layers of the government system and be clear about who is responsible for what levels of financial support – from a general program support focus – not individual families.
When and by whom was this system established? – from a community family focus perspective
Look at the government’s funding of support programs – the actual work that is done in the variety of agencies and hospitals and recreation centers and community centers by the trained professionals such as Kinark, Blue Hills, Aisling Discoveries Child and Family center, Hospital for Sick Children, Holland Bloorview, Early Intervention Services, Speech and Language services….(and a hundred more – any of the agencies that have been given government money to keep their doors open). Answer: how did these programs come to be funded by the government? Why does the government give money to these agencies so that children with autism and Cerebral Palsy and vision and hearing difficulties, or attention or behaviour or learning problems can potentially improve developmentally? Why don’t we make parents pay for their own children? When did the support of children and families become the responsibility of the federal and provincial government? Why do tax payers in the country foot the bill for services for other peoples’ children? And when did we start believing this? How did Canada and Ontario take on this financial burden and how is it managed? By whom? Under what parameters? Do all levels of government support families in the same way? Do all government parties agree with funding strategies? How have these changed over the many years? Why? How?
