Additional Funding for CAYA gives people a voice
On March 26, 2013, the Province committed to providing an additional $1.5 million in support for the Communication Assistance for Youth and Adults (CAYA) program. "To appreciate what a life changer this technology is, you simply need to talk to someone who has been given the means to communicate, to realize that every dollar we are able to provide CAYA will positively impact the quality of life for the recipient, their families and their greater community" said Minister of Social Development Moira Stilwell, M.D. "This additional funding will ensure that at least 60 more people with severe communication disabilities in B.C. will have their own voice, and the communication supports and technology to create an adult life of the greatest possible independence" said Jeffrey Riley, Manager of CAYA. Since 2005, CAYA has provided approximately 915 British Columbians with communications technologies.
