Autism town hall this Friday!
by Patricia
This Friday (November 13), Americans in 15 cities will come together to create a policy agenda for addressing the needs of adults with autism. These needs include housing, jobs, recreation, friends and supportive communities. You’re invited to join us to create a policy agenda for addressing the needs of adults with autism!
Easter Seals is proud to be part of Advancing Futures for Adults with Autism (AFAA), a national consortium seeking to create meaningful futures for adults with autism. At the town hall meeting this Friday, over 1,000 people in 15 cities will join the discussion to make recommendations on these important issues. Caregivers, advocates, elected officials, family members, and adults with autism will participate, and we hope you will, too!
The event will be orchestrated from a central hub in Chicago, and a webcast will allow us to hear ideas from participants at satellite sites all over the country. The unprecedented scale and diversity of the AFAA Town Meeting will attract national attention and build momentum around addressing the needs of adults with autism. Easter Seals is hosting the satellite sites in Long Beach and in Fort Worth.
There are a few slots left in these sites — register now!
