Re: Stipend State Autism Conf (Jill Varley autism/educational consultant Reg 11)

[Guest guest]

If I may help, please call Region 11 Education Service Center for

your area.

Your autism point of contact is Jill Varley,

Educational Consultant, Autism

Link is as follows:

I'm sorry to hear about your call, but Ivan Vance has given many

families I know stipends for this conference for this Region......

I hope this will resolve your situation immediately.
