Dear Ellen,

I have been on the road the last two days and have great

information I want to share with you regarding opportunities with the Ligas

Consent Decree. Yesterday, we had about 80 advocates attend our " Health Care

Reform Update for Children with Special Health Care Needs. " Lots of good

information there as well. More to come later....

Help spread the word about our new Austim resource.

Help Spread the Word about an Amazing New Autism

Resource

As a Chapter of The Arc, you are in the perfect

position to help spread the word about new resources available to people with

intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through a grant from the

Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD), The Arc has created a

national resource and information center called Autism NOW for people who

identify as having an autism spectrum disorder or other developmental

disability. This amazing new resource provides high-quality information about

issues important to people on the autism spectrum or with other developmental

disabilities, their families, and professionals through a unique Web site with

searchable resources, a free Webinar series and more.

Shortly, you will receive a package from The Arc

with promotional materials to help you tell your community about Autism NOW.

These materials include posters, brochures and magnets you can distribute. Also,

there are digital resources available to you with facts about Autism NOW and

what it does, sample promotional copy to cut-and-paste into your newsletters,

send out via email or post on your Website and other resources. These can be

found in the For Chapters section of www.thearc.org under Chapter Resources. YOU

WILL NEED TO BE LOGGED IN TO ACCESS.

Please take a moment to learn more about Autism

NOW and the resources it provides and use the promotional tools provided. If you

need more information, please contact Tonia Ferguson at Ferguson@... or

visit www.autismnow.org.

Thanks Ellen,

I've bookmarked the page and will get to it soon (I hope).

Do you know what opportunities he is talking about with the Ligas Consent

Decree?

Hi Thais:

The Ligas Consent Decree has a provision to move 3,000 individuals off the

waiting list...it may be a drop in the bucket, but, it does represent an

opportunity for others, besides those residing in ICFs.

Hi Ellen,

Do individuals have to complete and submit the form, " Request for Community Based

Services or Placement in a Community Based Setting " to IDHS-DD division in order

to possibly be selected off the waiting list?
