Is Your Child with Autism Safe in School?
Students with autism are way too often victims of mistreatment in schools. This compilation of news reels from recent happenings will offer some insight into the need for advocacy in this area.
To help make a difference, join us on the Legislative Task Force the 2nd Monday of each month - info below.
ASF has a Legislative Task Force due to the enormous concerns we have for our children who attend public schools in Florida.
WE MEET THE 2nd MONDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 7:00 PM

Day after day there are reports of children with autism being treated with disrespect, exposed to profanity, dragged from classrooms, baker acted, restrained and segregated.
Bullying is another big problem for our kids. In fact, 63% of kids with autism REPORT being bullied in school, and that is only those who can self-report.
We seek legislation that will help protect students with disabilities:
- Cameras in Classrooms
- Establishing Elopement Protocols
Abuse thrives in silence
CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATORS
It's important to contact you legislators and let them know where you stand on the issues.
They need to hear personal stories to inform and influence them. If no one calls them, then it's as if they're not needed and all is well with special education.
