On March 18, 2005, Governor Ernie Fletcher signed House Bill 296 into law establishing the Kentucky Commission on Autism Spectrum Disorders. Sponsored by state Rep. Scott Brinkman (Louisville), the legislation charges the agency with development of a comprehensive statewide plan for an integrated system of training, treatment and services for individuals of all ages with an ADS.

The 22-member commission first met Aug. 22, 2005 and named subcommittees to address the following issues: identification and intervention; services/transition; best practices and training; and funding.

The following forums are scheduled. These are an opportunity to submit verbal or written comments. The report will be discussed at our June 26th meeting. Minutes will be taken and submitted to the Commission. Comments can also be submitted directly to Shelley Runkle.

Jun 10 Gluten-Free Picnic Print E-mail
Monday, 05 June 2006
We are all set for our first GFLA-CDF annual picnic next Saturday.

June 10th
Veterans Park, Shelter #1
11:30am

Please bring your family, interested friends - everyone is welcome - and your favorite GF picnic food and the recipe so we can put all the new recipes in the next newsletter to share with the group.

We rented a covered pavillion so this event will go - rain or shine! And since it will be a relaxing event please plan to stay as long as you like and visit and share information with other members. We will send out another reminder mid-week but if you think you can be there let us know so we can bring enough new sample GF goodies for everyone!

Thanks so much for all your support and participation - our group is growing rapidly! Now 61 and growing.

Jul 24 Ben Norby Golf Tournament Print E-mail
Wednesday, 10 May 2006
I have attached information about a golf tournament/silent auction fundraiser that is being planned to benefit my son's fund, the Ben Norby Fund. My hope is to one day make his fund a foundation that will help other families who, like me, struggle to pay for therapy and medical expenses that are not covered by state funding and insurance. If you know of people who golf, have silent auction items, or would be interested in participating in some way, please pass this information along and feel free to make copies of the attached information.

Sincerely,
Rhonda Norby
