On February 6, 2001, the Supreme Court of British Columbia again affirmed that early intensive behavioural intervention must be provided for children with autism.

The decision included a declaration that the Crown's failure to provide the infant petitioners with effective treatment for their medical condition of autism constitutes a denial of their rights under s. 15(1) Charter. It also included a direction that the Crown fund early intensive behavioural therapy for children with autism, including autism spectrum disorder.
