Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Tonya, I am sure you agree we are here to advocate for Autism. Look again at what the California Legislative put together for Autism families. http://senweb03.senate.ca.gov/autism/autismlegislation.html http://www.sacbee.com/111/story/832784.html " The next step in this cause and in this movement is making sure that autism and autism spectrum disorder are a top-tier public health priority, " said Steinberg, who sponsored the initiative and chaired the autism commission. " California Senator Darrell Steinberg It is " top-tier " .... maybe the Texas " general education " citizens will agree with what is being legislated for in California. I think they would and will :>) I thinking spending more than 7.5K for Texas Autism students would be wonderful.
