Obama’s commitment to people with autism and other disabilities


Posted by Katy Beh Neas on November 11th, 2008

Easter Seals congratulates President-elect Barack Obama on his election win. Easter Seals in Washington, D.C., and Illinois both have a strong working relationship with Barack Obama and commend his strong commitment to persons with disabilities.

The Obama-Biden team has specific policy positions on disability that are aligned with Easter Seals’ priorities. You can view their disability plan and their autism spectrum disorder Plan on the Obama-Biden Web site.

Easter Seals pledges to work with members of the incoming 111th Congress and the new administration on legislation benefiting people with disabilities and their families.

    I cannot seem to find any help, i feels like our lives are just falling apart! I try praying, maybe praying is not enough, I often think about death, what will become of my boys i I die, there beneifits weretaken away, they were told that they are no longer atistic, how can that be? How I wish this were true, you just don’t tell a person you are atistic one day and not the next.it craszy, they see us as bad parents who gav brith to monsters.
