Something historic is happening. For the first time, tribal communities are named in the federal government’s draft Strategic Plan for autism, the roadmap that guides research, services, and funding nationwide for the next three years.
Being named is the first step. Being heard is the next one.
The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) is accepting public comments through August 20, and every voice counts: parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles, providers, educators, and tribal leaders.
Our children carry the strengths of their families, their cultures, and their nations. Let’s make sure the plan that shapes their services reflects that.
