Got this in my email this morning and it will do it's part to help;

Quote:
A4 is part of a campaign to lobby government to fund a minimum of 1000 Hours of Early Intervention per annum for 2 years for every pre-school child with autism.

Please go to the www.1000hours.com.au website. If you agree that each young child who is diagnosed with autism should be able to access early intervention like that in the advice the government published itself, then please register your name with this campaign.

And please get your friends to regsiter their names. The Commonwealth Government’s Best Practice Guidelines state that “A program needs to be of at least 20 hours per week over an extended period of at least two years”. This equates to 1000 hours per year for 2 years.

Please go to the website. Please resister if you agree. Please pass this on to everyone you know who might support this campaign.

I've sent off my support.

I'll talk to friends and get them to do the same.

Thanks for this post.

No autistics are being allowed to participate directly in the consultation group advising the government.
