Missouri Autism Panel Schedules Hearings

Missouri Autism Panel Schedules Hearings

Missouri's new autism panel has scheduled five hearings this summer across the state to gather testimony and information for a report on "the state of autism in Missouri" its members are scheduled to deliver to the state Senate by October 31."

Are our appointed representatives looking at the success stories in other states that support choice for students with autism? I certainly hope they will take a look at Ohio or Georgia or Florida. Look anywhere but here in Missouri. I would like to see REAL and sustainable choice out there--for all Missouri families and children. The independent research I've done tells me that it's unreasonable to expect every school to address every varied aspect of every possible disability. Frankly, though I guess we SHOULD do the research, this is just plain common sense! Here's a little more research for you: "Debunking a special education myth: don't blame private options for rising costs.(check the facts)"
