New National Autism Clearinghouse In The Works
A handful of disability organizations are joining forces to establish a national resource center to assist people dealing with autism and other developmental disabilities.
The new initiative known as Autism NOW: The National Autism Resource and Information Center will be established by The Arc in collaboration with the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and Self Advocates Becoming Empowered with the help of $1.87 million awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services this week. Autism NOW will be tasked with helping people connect with services and interventions in their own communities.
