Dear Friends,

Though this survey was mainly prepared for diocesan/parish staff, I invite

you as a parent to also read the letter (below) and take the brief survey

(via link included). The survey deadline is January 31st.

Feel free to forward this to others, especially catechists and coordinators

currently serving persons with Autism/ASD, or other disabilities, in your

parish programs or ministries.

Gratefully,

Charleen

NCPD Autism Task Force Survey

Dear Catechetical Leader,

The National Catholic Partnership on Disability (NCPD) would

greatly appreciate your participation in a brief survey, in an effort to

ensure that the welcome persons with disabilities receive in the Church

continues to improve.

In response to the fact that a diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum

Disorder (ASD) affects 1 out of every 110 persons, NCPD has recently formed

an Autism Task Force (ATF). The ATF is working to review and develop

strategies and resources that will assist (arch)dioceses/parishes to more

effectively include individuals with ASD and their families, into the full

life of the Church.

Your responses to this survey are vital to determine the current

state of this specialized ministry. We anticipate that information gathered

will indicate existing strengths and challenges around the country. This

will directly assist the ATF in their efforts to improve and increase the

breadth and depth of materials available to catechetical leaders (and

catechists) to more successfully invite, welcome and appreciate persons with

disabilities, especially those with ASD, in the Church.

Please complete the survey

(http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NCPDAutism), then forward this letter and

survey to all catechetical leaders you work with locally, expanding the

volume of input to be obtained. The deadline to complete the survey is

January 31, 2011.

We remain grateful for all that you do to promote the

advancement of disability ministry efforts. May God continue to bless you in

this New Year!

Yours in Christ,

Dr.
