The U.S. Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) has extended for another week, until March 4, 2011, the online public comment period for its Envisioning the Future planning project, which began in October 2010 and held public forums at several locations. To submit an online comment, follow this link to the ADD website.
This is an opportunity for self-advocates and others to provide testimony about community inclusion, participation, social capital, employment, self-determination, person centered choices, self-advocacy, accessibility, and other important topics. All comments, position statements, and testimony are welcomed by ADD. More than 400 testimonies already have been submitted.
ASAN encourages those in the Autistic community who have not already participated in this project to consider doing so.
