NCDC needs appropriate funding so that no child is without help. As a mother of an Autistic teen and a 4yr old daughter with Adhd I couldn't be more appalled that funding for our children has been cut. Our children are our future...Early intervention is key to helping those with special needs to be able to function and cope in society.

My son received incredible help from NCDC. They are an integral part of community and in the development of our community's children. Restore their fudning.

As one of the founding Directors of NCDC, I am saddened by the possibility that these very vital services for the cvhildren in our area are to be stopped. The need has been well demonstrated over the years and the success of the progeammes is great. We need to be able to provide this opportunity to those who so deserve it. Please reconsider and do not allow this to happen.

NCDC has one of the few therapy programs that can claim consistent successes with children with special needs (autism spectrum, etc.) and back that claim up.

I have observed first hand over the last several years the dramatic improvement of a child who has greatly benefitted from theInfant & Child Development Program in Northumberland County. The question that should be asked is, "What if that was my child?" We are a community that helps each other. Every child in our community is an investment in our future in Northumberland County.

There is no excuse for a program like this to not be funded equitably across the province. Infants and children at risk are still infants and children at risk no matter where they live in Ontario

How we can expect a bright future for Canada when there is no funding to help the future leaders of this country?

Give NCDC their funding back! They have been a HUGE help with my disabled grandson!
