District Advocates for Autism

To all parents with a child, teenager or an adult with autism. Autism Speaks is looking for people who are interested in connecting with state and federal legislators about issues involving developmental disabilities, want to be more involved with autism in their community and live in either the 1st, 11th and various downstate federal legislative districts or want to help out in your own district with current district advocacy chair people, with  examples of some important issues that families with autism face.

1. State and Federal Health Care Coverage for autism.

2. Housing

3. PUNS List Enrollment

4. Vocational Training

5. Various Federal Initiatives involving Autism

Please email me with your interest to mbaker721@comcast.net to talk further. Its a volunteer position that involves putting in as much time as you want to improve the lives of people with autism!

Sincerely, 

Mike Baker

State Advocacy Chair
