Useful ref: The Autism Votes Facebook page and Twitter feed

If you are interested in keeping in touch with bills that pertain to autism, and often have to do with the practice of behavior analysis, the main Autism Votes website is a great comprehensive site for what's going on at both state and Federal level - with autism-related legislation and developments, autism autism insurance legislation in particular.

However, for fast-breaking announcements, such as committee hearings or other action alerts, two additional helpful options are the Autism Votes twitter feed , for those who enjoy "tweeting", and for slightly more detailed announcements of fast-breaking developments with autism-insurance related bill introductions and legislative meetings or hearings, the Autism Votes Facebook page.



This blog will also track a variety of news items, events and legislation of interest to practicing behavior analysts, including autism legislation as it pertains to professional practice of behavior analysis, but if you as practitioner or consumer are particularly interested in keeping up to date and getting hearing and action alerts on an autism-related bill in your state that is being tracked by Autism Votes - a friendly recommendation would be to stay in touch with the above resources.
