NOVEMBER 1 is our next meeting - let's talk topics!
I've received an email from Dan Hastings of Auburn - Dan is starting a TOPSoccer program here in Auburn, and would like to spread the word. That's really exciting - I know of other programs that have been really successful! I'm going to ask Dan if he'd like to come and talk to us about it.
At the end of November, a few of us plan to attend a hearing at the State House in Boston, on the legislation currently under review to amend MA State law to require State programs to look at functioning level, instead of purely IQ, in its DDS eligibility requirements. Our Director, Phil, talked about this important initiative at our September meeting. If you didn't receive the handouts, I'll post them here this week. Please consider joining us at the hearing - we can carpool, I've been there many times and don't mind driving. The more who come in support of this bill, the better chances it has of passing. Most importantly, it will have a tremendous impact on many of YOU. We will hear an update about this at the November meeting from Phil.
We will also look at the remaining meetings this year and get some ideas from you about topics, so please don't make me do this alone! See you on November 1 at 7:00pm at the APS offices at 5 West Street!
