Legislative panel studying autism seeks input

Parents, teachers or doctors of children with autism; students with autism, or anyone else who wants to add their stories are invited to comment during the final stages of a study by a legislative commission.

The House Commission to Study the Education of Children with Autism in RI convened in December. It has since gathered what Rep. Peter Palumbo, D-Cranston, called “formal” and “policy-type” information on educating children with autism.

“What we would really like to add to the mix, before we move toward making any formal, legislative recommendations, is the personal side of the issue,” he said in a statement.

The commission is inviting testimony at its next meeting, at noon on Wed., April 30, in the State House, room 313.
