New Yorkers, come to the first ever autism advocacy and lobbying day in Albany on Tuesday, March 24th. If we don't speak up we can't be heard. Albany needs to hear your voice.
The threat to our children posed by the Governor's budget is real, but the opportunities created by our advocacy are real too.
Stop the sweeping budget cuts proposed for early invention, special education pre-school, and special education
Pass real health insurance reform for people with autism. We pay our premiums and it is long overdue for our children to receive the healthcare they need.
Pass vaccine rights legislation. Three bills are pending that would assure informed consent rights and give vaccine choice to the people of New York, including a philosophical exemption to vaccine mandates.
Make a difference and come to the first autism advocacy day in Albany!
