On September 26, 2024, the Public Health Agency of Canada launched a National Autism Strategy. The Strategy is a multi-year action plan that supports federal implementation of the Framework for Autism in Canada. The release of Canada’s National Autism Strategy is an important development. We are currently conducting a thorough review of the report and will provide our insights in the near future. Please stay tuned for further updates as we continue our advocacy for individuals on the Autism Spectrum, their families, and caregivers. #AutismCanada #Autism #ASD
