Helping HANDS
posted: Thursday, May 27, 2010
Opportunity to work at a state level with the HANDS in Autism Resource Center to ensure that information, support, and services for children with autism are present and appropriate across each region. This coalition has strong representation from parents, medical staff and schools are Terre Haute, Lafayette, Bloomington, Wayne/North montgomery areas, Muncie/Anderson and are looking for support in these and other areas of the state.
If you are interested in a more collaborative means of bringing information and training to your area and have a willingness to collaborate with parents and school personnel to do so as well as a willingness to actively inform the effort in their area, please contact Naomi Swiezy at nswiezy@iupui.edu. Also plan to attend the initial summit in September for brainstorming and initial efforts to individualize training and outreach in their region on.
The HANDs center will help Local Coalition Cadres in:
- Providing support and coordinated efforts across systems in the care of individuals with an ASD
· Sharing of consistent information and resources between systems
· Sharing of information and resources with others in the communities as a means of building local capacity
· Helping to inform HANDS about the needs and issues of local communities as well as the particular needs of school personnel with regards to autism and developmental disabilities so that we can best position ourselves and the program to assist.
