Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I think this is a wonderful idea! Pre kids and , I was a writer and editor and worked on everything from newsletters to product guides to advertising. I would love to help. I think posting the newsletter on a website is a fantastic idea. You may want to consider issuing a press release to a select group of magazines aimed at parents, which would direct interested parties to the website. Please let me know if you need anything. All the best, Robyn From: Doris and Steve <sjsmith@...> Subject: Newsletter ... " " < > Date: Friday, August 21, 2009, 9:21 PM Need some thoughts here from Parents of kids ... a few years back, I helped to create 3 newsletters for the Parental Group. It was called The Network. It was for parents - by parents. They used to be downloadable from the website. I'm not sure if they're still there. We also mailed them out. We created these newsletters based on the updates Mrs Goldberg used to provide for parents when Dr G would visit the east coast families eons ago. I really missed these newsletters. They were informative and contained information of interest to parents. A few of the 'old-timer' parents have been tossing around ideas on how to get a parents' group started again. What can be done to support the parents and families of kids? What do parents need to get the word about to the community ? Should the newsletter be resurrected ? My local ASA posts their newsletter on their website now to cut down on printing costs. This is a *great* idea as printing and mailing were major costs for the 3 newsletters I noted early in this posting. Please post your ideas - only email me if you don't want to be identified. I want Dr G and the 'old-timers' to get a feel for what the parents want and need. Thanks! Doris - land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 One other thought . . . a recovered (or in recovery) kids' column featuring success stories. It was very powerful to hear their stories at the USAAA Conference in July. Robyn From: Doris and Steve <sjsmith@...> Subject: Newsletter ...

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I love Robyn's idea!!! And I like the idea about informing other parents about any research or issues related to /autism. - > > One other thought . . . a recovered (or in recovery) kids' column featuring success stories.
