Human rights applications alleging discriminatory discharge from autism intervention services dismissed for no reasonable prospect of success.
The applicants, twin boys with autism and severe developmental disabilities, alleged discrimination on the basis of disability after being discharged from the respondent's Autism Intervention Service, which resulted in a loss of funding for Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) treatment.
The respondent requested a summary hearing to dismiss the applications for having no reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal found that the decision to discharge was a clinical one and that the applicants failed to provide evidence linking the discharge or the evaluation process to discriminatory factors based on their disabilities.
The applications were dismissed.
