AUTISM SPECTRUM SUPPORT GROUP ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Members,
We hope you had a safe, happy holiday with your
family.
We are very excited to inform you that recently
elected Cobb County School Board Representative, Dr. John Crooks, has
graciously accepted our invitation to attend both our morning and
evening meetings in January. These meetings will be held
on Thursday, January 18, 2007. Because we
expect a larger group than usual, we will be meeting in the Chancel Choir
Room, A18 instead of where we usually meet. This will be for both the
morning and evening meetings. Please mark
this date on your calendar and make plans to attend!
Dr. Crooks was elected from Post 6 in Cobb County, but he will be making
educational decisions that affect the entire county. Dr. Crooks
has stated that he is especially interested in meeting with us because he
wants to learn more about special education and the challenges that our
children face.
We have had some responses from the Autism Support Group which have been incorporated into a general presentation of information and handouts will be made available for attendees. Many of the issues apply not only to children on the Autism Spectrum but other disabilities too.
Our meetings with Dr. Crooks provide us with an outstanding
opportunity to cultivate a special education advocate for our
children. To that end, we need a great turnout for this meeting.
Please make plans to attend, and please invite other parents of special
children to come with you!
