Call Governor Cuomo NOW

 

URGENT ALERT!!

Call Governor Cuomo NOW

June 18, 2013 

Dear Kathllen

Governor Cuomo is now deciding whether to sign our ABA licensure bills which were voted out of the Senate and Assembly yesterday!

These bills will finally enable our families to take full advantage of our 2011 autism insurance reform law by allowing reimbursement to ABA providers.

It is imperative that you call Governor Cuomo NOW, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, to urge that he sign the ABA licensing bills!

 

 

Here is How YOU Can Help:

CALL GOVERNOR CUOMO
You can call him at:  (518) 474-8390

 

In a polite voice, say “Hello, I am calling to ask Governor Cuomo to sign A.6963 and S.4862 to help New York families raising kids with autism. Please help end our frustration with the 2011 autism insurance reform law. Thank you”

 

ALERT YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY
Forward this alert to help get the phones ringing off the hook in Albany. It’s critical to do this now!

Almost there, New York! Let’s make these bills the law!

Together our aim is to address the needs of individuals with learning, physical, visual, hearing, and communication challenges. We are committed to providing unique solutions for empowering children and young adults through assistive technologies, fostering greater participation in education, workplaces, or leisure activities.
Assistive technologies may be used to augment a individual’s ability to communicate; support writing and reading needs of individuals with learning challenges; or provide direct access to learning materials for individuals who have vision, hearing, or physical impairments. Parents and individuals need to become informed consumers of such tools in order to advocate successfully in the school systems or workplaces. We are available to support, train, and problem-solve any assistive technology need with individuals and families. In NYC, students are guaranteed such support by the Chancellor’s Continuum of Services Appendix B. Under Federal law all children are entitled to a “free and appropriate education”, and assistive technologies often provide such a means toward success. Information about the more formal assistive technology services and referral process for NYC residents can be found here: Regional AT information  or District 75 AT Information. Students outside of NYC should consult their regional offices and State resources (we can assist them with finding such resources as well).
All interested individuals must make an appointment by e-mail or phone (details below)–we are not available for walk-in services. During our one hour consultations with families/individuals, we also help them navigate school, public, and private resources for more formal assistive technology and augmentative communication evaluations when needed. Collaborating professionals are welcome to accompany the family or individual as well. Individuals are also invited to return with questions or for actual support for assistive technology products they acquire.
Free assistive technology consultation and support is available on select Sundays of each month. Please note that it is by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, contact Mark Surabian at ATHelp@me.com or call 917-586-8000 if you do not have e-mail.
