The Michigan FEAT mailing list was formed to help parents band together to create a "Families for Early Autism Treatment" group in our state. Once it's created the mailing list will be used for bulletins, announcements and as a general support forum for members. Michigan FEAT will be made up of individuals (mostly parents) who are dedicated to ensuring that children with an autism spectrum disorder recieve the best education, advocacy and support. This may include setting families up with information on state and federal resources, educating families on different types of therapies and pointing them in the right direction when they have chosen the therapy that is right for them. It may also include trying to start or change state programs to help families pay for therapy. We may have fundraisers and benefits to offset the cost of members' therapy they are providing. We may also have a reference and toy lending library. These are some of the things we would like to work on.
Please join us in helping these wonderful children, who deserve the best and together....we can move mountains.....
