If you are a Pennsylvania family that has a person living with autism in your household (and yes, it included adults) then here’s a reminder:
The 2011 Bureau of Autism Services Mini Grants application process is beginning soon. Here’s what you need to do-
On Friday, February 18, after the close of business (I’m assuming around 4:30 or 5 pm), contact the DPW one of two ways.
You can call them at 866-539-7689, pick option #2 and follow the directions.
Or email them at autismoffice@state.pa.us after close of business on that day. Include your name, address, complete mailing address and a phone number with area code. Request that the full application packet be mailed to you.
This year, the office is also holding a webcast to walk you through the application process. It can be viewed at:
http://bastraining.acrobat.com/p53796987/
That website will not be live until after close of business on the 18th.
Fwiw, my $0.02. In the past, this was kind of an unknown thing. Families knew about them, and applied, etc. This year, I have seen this thing everywhere! Due to social media, et., this thing is very well publicized this year. That shouldn’t stop anyone from applying, just know that there will probably be more competition this year, so put your best application forward.
