Please Participate! Ohio’s Interagency Work Group on Autism Family Survey

Ohio’s Interagency Work Group on Autism (IWGA) wants to hear from families! Across the

nation, there are many different kinds of general interventions/therapies being researched

and tried to help individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) grow, learn and pursue a

high quality of life. To better understand what kinds of interventions/therapies Ohio families

are using for their family member with ASD of any age, the IWGA has created a quick 5 minute online

survey at www.autism.ohio.gov. (Click on " Families: Tell Us What Works for You in this Quick Survey " near the

top of the page.)  The survey asks families about their experience with 8 different general intervention/therapy approaches.

The information collected will help develop a picture

of some of the kinds of intervention approaches Ohio families are using throughout the state.

It will also help guide the work needed to assure that useful information about effective

interventions/therapies gets into the hands of families and service providers statewide. Please

spread the word about this survey opportunity to families who may be interested in sharing

their experience! The survey will remain online through the month of April – National Autism

Awareness Month! Thanks for participating!
