M-130 Applied behaviour analysis therapy in Canada

That, in the opinion of the House, the government should:

(a) undertake a study on the practice of applied behaviour analysis therapy in Canada with respect to its impacts on people with autism, their families and networks of support, making sure this study (i) gives priority to the perspectives of people with autism and in particular those with lived experience of applied behaviour analysis, (ii) includes recommendations on what actions should be undertaken by the government, including an assessment of the need for a federal ban on applied behaviour analysis therapy as it has been historically practiced; and

(b) present a report to the House on the study within six months after it has been undertaken or within such further time as the House may authorize, including a statement on any changes the study recommends.
