Agenda for the Autism Task Force on March 19, 2010

So much for what I thought was going to be on the agenda.  I know that some money was released to those on the autism grant waitlist in January and will ask for further information.

Nothing listed yet on the new autism waiver or on what communities around the state told Partners for Inclusive Communities about their autism needs. (Of course their meeting schedule got delayed by all the ice in February.)

So far there's a presentation on the need for first responders to understand autism. There's also a discussion of what should be the priorities for the 88th General Assembly next year. I hope you can either attend or e-mail me your comments. If you need ideas on recommendations, skim the 2008 Task Force Report, although I find it light on specifics in education.

Did you know that NAMI gave Arkansas a grade of an F????? Last year it was a D! Oklahoma is much better than us.
If all this money is coming to help us, how can we be an F? That is plain shameful!
