Autism Society of Los Angeles Community – WE NEED YOUR HELP!
On October 9, we commemorate THREE YEARS since Governor Brown signed the Self-Determination Law.
- Self-Determination gives regional center consumers and their families more choice and control over the services and supports they receive.
- After creating a person-centered plan, the self-determination participant can choose a range of supports in the community that are unique and meet your needs. YOU are in charge of your life!
We still don’t have the Self-Determination Program!
Are you tired of waiting for Self-Determination?
Please join us for a
VIRTUAL CANDLELIGHT VIGIL
FOR THE SELF-DETERMINATION LAW
 |
Join us in calling for the Governor and his departments to prioritize getting the Federal Government approval for the program as soon as possible.
-
