Autism Caucus forms in Ohio General Assembly

Senator Steve Stivers, Senator , Representative Ted Celeste, Representative Bacon have formed an Autism Caucus in the Ohio General Assembly.

The purpose of the Autism Caucus is to familiarize legislators with autism, issues related to autism and what individuals with autism and their families face when looking for and accessing services in Ohio.

The first meeting of the Autism Caucus will be on Tuesday, October 30, 2007 at a lunch meeting at the Riffe Center for the Ohio House of Representatives, hosted by Rep. Bacon and Rep. Ted Celeste. Lunch will be provided by the Autism Society of Ohio.

The first meeting will be largely informational. Doug will present on why he wanted the Caucus to form and his own personal experiences. An "autism 101" will be provided to familiarize legislators with autism. Barb Yavorcik, ASO President, will familiarize legislators with what local ASA chapters do in Ohio, the Autism Society of Ohio and our efforts and initiatives. We will also provide legislators with general information about autism, a copy of the Ohio Autism Taskforce Report and the OAT Status Update prepared by ODMRDD in conjunction with OCALI and ASO.

A similar meeting will be held sometime in the near future for the Ohio Senators.

This is a great opportunity to education legislators and improve services for persons with autism and their families in Ohio. We will be sure to keep you updated via the ASO website as well - visit www.autismohio.org.

Thanks so much to parent Doug Krinsky for coming up with this idea and making the contacts with legislators to get it implemented.

This exciting event is designed to provide special education directors in public schools and community schools, as well as other leaders in Ohio’s special education system the opportunity to learn of the many recent changes in Ohio’s special education policies and programs, including the operating standards. We very much hope (expect!) that each district and other special education entities will attend.

After that, registration for additional district staff will be available until capacity is reached. The registration fee is $55 per person, to cover meals. Specific registration information will be provided in a later communication. Those who attend the conference can expect to learn about:· Changes to the State Special Education Operating Standards; · The State Performance Plan and its Impact;· District Determinations and the Revised Focused Monitoring Process;· State Support Teams;· Implementing Response to Intervention (RTI);· Early Childhood Special Education Issues; · And many other Important Topics! This is also your chance to share your ideas and concerns directly with OEC staff, as we continue to build our communication with you.

Federal Mental Health Parity Update

Last Tuesday legislation to provide mental health parity (H.R. 1424) was passed by the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Now that the bill has moved out of its third House committee, the full House is expected to consider the bill shortly after the House Budget Committee finds $3 billion offset to pay for it. The House bill, much like the Senate-passed bill, requires insurers that cover mental health and substance abuse disorders to do so on par with medical procedures. A major difference between the House and Senate bills is a House provision that mandates insurance companies cover all disorders listed in the American Psychiatric Association's manual. Republicans prefer the Senate-passed bill that gives insurance companies flexibility to determine which mental health disorders and conditions to cover.

Main Street Dayton, OH 45415 (937) 890-0646 We want to hear from you. The following themes regarding MR/DD Waiting Lists have already been received by the committee: 1. Ineffective waiting list rules that pigeon hole people for years.2. Wait list does not work.3. Service wait times are too long.4. Wait list priority categories are too limiting.5. Waiting list rule is too confusing.6. Service substitution list needs eliminated.7. Wait list is too complicated.8. Wait list lacks effective communication process. We need to know your opinion regarding: 1. Should the current waiting list law continue as is, with Priority Groups, Service Substitution List and Long Term Planning Registry?2. Should there be a state wide waiting list for MR/DD Waivers rather than County Board Waiting Lists?3. Should there be an assessment tool used to determine even if you should be on a waiting list?4. What is your opinion of the Waiting List Themes already received by the committee? Thank you in advance for your participation in this very important forum.

Article - Writing Kids off is not an Option, sent by ASGC

Dan Coulterdanielc2@...www.coultervideo.wwwNOTE TO EDITORS: (We're distributing this article at no charge -- providedyou run it unedited and unchanged -- for use in websites, newsletters,magazines, and other communications.)WRITING KIDS OFF IS NOT AN OPTIONIf you're a parent or teacher or coach or youth leader, have you ever beentempted to write a child off? To expect little or nothing and put yourefforts elsewhere? For an hour or a day or even permanently? Have you everfelt justified because a child was uncooperative or disinterested ordisruptive? It can be a particular temptation when you have other children or studentswho need you and show more appreciation for your efforts and make moreprogress.But it's also an opportunity to be one of those special people who nevergives up on a child. Who never mentally throws up his hands and says, "It'shis own fault, he's not even trying."In Elder Robison's book, "Look Me In The Eye: My Life With Asperger's,"he writes about being frequently written off as a child. He makes the pointthat his parents and teachers and psychologists often misunderstood hisintentions. For example, he said that child psychologists who said "prefers to play by himself," got it dead wrong. "I never wanted to be alone...I played by myself because I was a failure atplaying with others. I was alone as a result of my own limitations, andbeing alone was one of the bitterest disappointments of my young life." Although he became highly successful in later life as he learned to interactwith people on their terms, Robison says he will always carry the pain ofpeople routinely misunderstanding and criticizing and rejecting him when hewas young. Many children with Asperger Syndrome, autism or other neurobiologicalconditions have behaviors that are easy to misinterpret. Many try hard tosucceed, but their brains process information differently than most otherkids. Some may blurt out answers in class. Some get frustrated and havemeltdowns at things that are trivial to other children. It's not enough to tell these kids the rules, because their brains areoperating from a separate set of rules that seem right to them. A child whodisrupts a class (from your point of view) may be desperately trying toparticipate. A child who tells other children what to do, may absolutelybelieve he is helping them. Even a child who sometimes needs to be alone,because too much sensory stimulation can be overwhelming, may also yearn tointeract with other kids. Sometimes it takes a die-hard parent or teacher or leader to help these kidslearn and relate so they can succeed in life. I'm not talking about throwing out discipline and consequences. I'm talkingabout applying the rules with compassion and making accommodations while youhelp a child see things from a perspective that's foreign to him. Abouttrying to find out what a child is thinking and why she acts the way shedoes. About seeking help if dealing with a special needs child, along withother children, becomes overwhelming. Writing a child off is getting stuck on what we can't do with him or her.What if we always focus, instead, on what else we could try? What if welive by the approach adopted by the mission control crew in the movie"Apollo 13," when three astronauts' lives were at stake?"Failure is not an option."ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dan Coulter produces videos designed to help classmates,siblings, parents, teachers and others understand and support people withAsperger Syndrome and autism.

Autism Videos highlight Early Signs of Autism

A new Web site offers dozens of video clips of autistic kids contrasted with unaffected children's behavior. Some of the side-by-side differences can make you gasp. Others are more subtle.

The free site, debuting Monday, also defines and depicts "stimming," "echolalia" and other confusing-sounding terms that describe autistic behavior. Stimming refers to repetitive, self-stimulating or soothing behavior including hand-flapping and rocking that autistic children sometimes do in reaction to light, sounds or excitement. Echolalia is echoing or repeating someone else's words or phrases, sometimes out of context.

The new site is sponsored by two nonprofit advocacy groups: Autism Speaks and First Signs. They hope the site will promote early diagnosis and treatment, which can help young children with autism lead more normal lives.
