Washington Autism Alliance (WAA) is an all-inclusive state-wide coalition of families and self-advocates dedicated to improving access to healthcare, education & social services.

What brought us together is one core belief - our loved ones deserve to be given every opportunity to become productive members of our communities. Our aim is to connect all ASD support organizations across Washington for a stronger cohesive voice for the autism community. WAA is not a small business, nor do we target our families for fundraising.

The list serve may be used for:

• Networking to secure funding sources for a person on the spectrum (insurance, Grants, other funding sources) towards educational, medical, therapeutic, and other needs of individuals with ASD;
• Networking with other families, providers and attorneys statewide (& nationally) to find a solution to an obstacle you’re facing in accessing above.

This list's goal is to provide a CONFIDENTIAL forum where families and providers can pose CONFIDENTIAL questions that wouldn't be posed on open forum. Please respect confidentiality and refrain from forwarding notes to anyone without expressed consent of the posts' authors.

For other social networking, please visit us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/45749564291/

Thank you for standing together with us for change!
Peacefully,
