National Town Hall - November 13, 2009 Chicago Town Hall Meeting (central hub)
Check-In begins at 9:30AM CT
Program 10:15AM-4:30PM CT
Americans will come together across at least 15 cities in the U.S. to create a policy agenda for addressing the needs of adults with autism. Over 1,000 people including caregivers, advocates, elected officials, family members, and adults with autism, will join the discussion to make recommendations on this important issue.
The National Town Hall will take place at the University of Illinois in Chicago, hosted by The Autism Program of Illinois (TAP). Fifteen satellite sites in major cities across the U.S., along with a virtual site, will be linked via technology and live webcast. The satellite sites will work in the same way as the main site in Chicago, with full participatory technology.
Pre-registration is required at all sites. Find locations and registration information at the Advancing Futures for Adults with Autism (AFAA) website:
