ASO ALERT: Attention Residents of Belmont County

[Guest guest]

Dear Friend of ASO:

If you are a resident of Belmont County, a parent of an individual with autism, or a professional who works with individuals with autism - we need your help.

The Autism Early Screening Pilot is underway and a focus group is being held in Belmont County March 25-26 - location TBD. The focus group facilitated by the Ohio Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics, the project organizers, will be held with local parents, educators, direct care providers, medical professionals and administrators to discuss timely and effective services for children with autism spectrum disorders.

Those wanting to take part in any of the remaining sessions should call or e-mail Dan Farkas, Project Manager. He can be reached at (614) 846-6258 or at dfarkas@...

The effort to create the Autism Early Screening Pilot was spearheaded by the Autism Society of Ohio and made possible through the efforts of Rep. Bacon.

If you know someone who is a residend of Belmont County that would be interested in participating in this focus group, please forward this email to them.

Look for a complete update on the Autism Early Screening Pilot in the next issue of the ASO DIGEST.
