Ciro Gomes proposes diagnostic task force for neurodivergent families in Ceará

Ciro Gomes, a candidate for the governorship of Ceará, has proposed a series of measures to support neurodivergent children and their families. During a meeting with representatives of advocacy groups, Gomes announced a plan to launch a 90-day task force to issue diagnostic reports, prioritizing cases based on severity.

Gomes also intends to decentralize specialized care by establishing regional units across Ceará based on the IPREDE model. To assist families in securing social benefits, he proposed state intervention to ensure the INSS recognizes these diagnostic reports, potentially involving the Public Defender's Office. Additionally, he advocated for trained professionals to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) within the school system.

Separately, state deputy candidate GD Oliveira has pledged to defend public policies for children with autism and ADHD. Drawing from personal experience as a parent, Oliveira proposed creating therapeutic support structures within full-time schools to facilitate access to treatment for families unable to afford private care.
