+Georgia Autism Plan - Family Survey: GA Autism Society of America is seeking residents to complete the Georgia Autism Family Survey. They also need your assistance in disseminating the survey to families of children with autism. Please help us spread the word by forwarding and posting the following link to your Facebook and Twitter accounts. The Georgia Autism Society of America is working with stakeholders to develop a Georgia Autism Plan. They want to be sure that it reflects the opinions and experiences of parents and family members. If you are a family who has a son or daughter with autism we are asking you to complete a survey that will help them understand what is important for children and youth with autism. They also want to learn about your child and family's experiences.
