The OCALI Statewide Ohio Conference is going to be held in Columbus November 17-19, 2009! ASA-ASO will again be subsidizing registrations for parents and will be sponsoring a " parents corner " as part of the exposition.

After being located in Akron and the NE Ohio area for our entire existence, ASA-ASO has moved, effective July 1, 2009, to Columbus. Moving there puts ASA-ASO at the center of the state and no more than 2 1/2 hours from any part of the state. Additionally, since state government is based in Columbus, it is the logical place for ASA-ASO to be located. Our new location is in an office building on the southwest side of the city - just off of I670 and a quick drive to downtown. Our new address is: 1335 Dublin Road, Suite 205-C, Columbus, Ohio, 43215, phone: (614) 487-4726, fax: (614) 487-4725.

ASA-ASO forming Ohio Autism Advocacy Network - Join Now! The Ohio Budget is currently under development and autism insurance parity legislation is ready to be re-introduced in the Ohio House. Additionally, issues regularly come before the state legislature that impact individuals with autism, their families and those who work them throughout Ohio. And because of this, the ASA-Autism Society of Ohio needs your help. We are in the process of putting together an autism advocacy network that has constituents in each of the districts of the members of the Ohio General Assembly, both the House and Senate. We are looking for advocates all around the state to help us with this effort. You can volunteer to participate in two ways: · Team Leader: Each Ohio district will have an assigned team leader who is responsible for carrying the key ASA-ASO/autism messages when meeting with the legislator (Representatives and Senators), coordinating testimony or letter writing for hearings, and for organizing the team members of their district, etc. · Team Member: Each Ohio district will have several team members that are available to share their own personal ASA-ASO/autism story, to write letters when needed, and to ask from help from their neighbors/families/friends. Team members may choose specialize on certain topics – ie. autism insurance parity topic, special education funding, etc. ASA-ASO is also developing a Legislative Advocacy Manual and will provide local training to constituent volunteer advocates. If you are interested in participating in this effort, please send your Name, address, city, zip+4, phone, email address, House District Number and Senate District number and whether you are interested in being a “Team Leader” or a “Team Member” to askASO@.... Please put AUTISM ADVOCACY NETWORK in the subject line. To find your district numbers, visit www.legislature.state.oh.us and follow the directions under " Locating Legislators " . For more information, visit our website at www.autismohio.org Ohio BMV changes policy on Autism Awareness License Plate Because of privacy concerns, the Ohio BMV will no longer be releasing the names and addresses of those who purchase the Ohio Autism Awareness License Plate to the ASA-Autism Society of Ohio. $25 from the purchase of each plate benefits the ASA-ASO and we have been sending thank you notes to all those who have purchased a plate. However, we will no longer be able to do so. The BMV is currently looking into options to add customer consent to the special license plate process so hopefully we will be able to go back to thanking folks formally in the future. But whether we are able to send a formal " thank you " or not, please know that the purchase of an autism awareness license plate makes a big difference and helps us help individuals with autism, their families and those who work with them throughout Ohio. Federal Update From the Autism Society:Thank Rep. Doyle - Autism Insurance in Health-Care ReformRepresentative Mike Doyle (D-PA), Co-Chair of the Congressional Autism Caucus (CARE), has taken a strong position to push insurance reform, and other crucial interests related to autism, during the mark-up of HR3200 over the next few days. Please take a moment to send Rep. Doyle a thank you note and encourage him to keep up the fight on behalf of all those affected by autism. Take Action http://www.autism-society.org/site/R?i=Pb3vXEXNvT6nBRQAUrV-7Q.. The House of Representative's three committees of jurisdiction (the Energy and Commerce, Ways and Means, and Education and Labor Committees) known as the Tri-Committees, released a second draft of their bill on July 14, 2009. The Tri-Committees are expected to begin making-up their version of the bill later this week. Thanks to Representative Mike Doyle, there are several key provisions in the Tri-Committees bill (HR 3200) that will have a positive impact on families in the autism community such as: * Insurers will be prohibited from excluding coverage based on pre-existing conditions; * Insurers will be prevented from selectively refusing to renew coverage; * Insurers will no longer be able to charge people different premiums based on their health status, gender or occupation; * A standardized annual out-of-pocket spending limit so that no family faces bankruptcy due to medical expenses will be required; * Annual and lifetime benefit caps are prohibited; * Mental health is covered; * " Habilitative " and " maintenance services " are covered.

This presentation for parents addresses the steps to developing a successful Individual Education Program for students with disabilities who are of transition age (14+).
