Moms Fighting Autism

Hi-5!

Free webinar (a seminar on the world wide web)  is being offered each month by the online community Moms Fighting Autism.  Register at www.momsfightingautism.com.Moms Fighting Autism
 at www.momsfightingautism.com.

Once you register, then you are sent a confirmation email with a call-in number and id; and online viewing link.

Also, they ask for questions to be submitted in advance.  Here is our question for this month:

"Why do Parents have to advocate for their child to receive public services?  Our tax dollars pay for public and federally mandated services for our son as a student, as well as, as a recipient of benefits associated with Disability Rights legislation.  We understand if we have to advocated for him to attend a private school or a private after-school activity like horse-riding. But, to have to advocated for a public education, public health insurance and medical care and other tax covered benefits is preposterous!  This is like telling President Obama he has to pay with his own credit card and petition every time he wants to fly on  Air Force One to uphold the duties of his office stateside and overseas.  Ridiculous! "

This month's FREE webinar is:

Topic:  Moms Fighting Autism: "How To Be An Advocate for Your Child".
