The event will be at the Minnesota Judicial Center, located adjacent to the State Capitol Building, beginning at 9:00am, Tuesday February 28, 2012.
The purpose of this event is to learn how anyone can contribute to the needed advocacy efforts during this legislative session. From 9:00-10:30am there will be presenters detailing what the issues are, how to identify your legislators, what to talk with them about and how we can work together to secure the necessary funding for services related to children with autism. From 10:30-12:00 we will assist you in meeting with your legislators. If possible, please contact your legislators in advance to schedule a meeting with them on 02/28/12 directly following our event.

Throughout the 2012 Legislative Session we need to rally and advocate together to prevent cuts in coverage and to secure coverage for the treatment that children with autism deserve. This event is open to all concerned individuals including parents, friends, providers, staff and physicians. We have invited a number of legislators to attend as well.

Bob Gunderson inspired me to devote my practice to individuals who have disabilities, their families, and the organizations that serve them. Bob Gunderson was my mentor, friend and colleague and I miss him very much. Bob Gunderson served the disability community as an attorney, as a brother, and as a dedicated volunteer who spent many hours in service to organizations such as Opportunity Partners, Fraser, PACER, and the Arc of Minnesota and Arc Greater Twin Cities.
