Episode #045 - How to Be an Autism Advocate in Your State

Episode #045 - How to Be an Autism Advocate in Your State

State policy is hugely consequential for autism families — from state Medicaid programs, to support worker wages, to health care, to guardianship, to recreation and respite. This week we bring you the audio of an NCSA webinar held on September 13, 2023 focusing on advocacy at the state level. If you'd like to see the video or slides, please see our website NCSAutism.org.
We start with an intro to federal policy, with Gayle Gerdes, Health Policy Source, who is helping NCSA on voicing our positions on federal policy matters. Then our main speaker is Susan Goldstein, a dynamo mother of a young woman with severe autism who parlayed her passion for autism programs into creating Florida legislation that expanded autism services in the state, and was later elected a state representative. Today she serves as a lobbyist for the Legis Group in Florida. Susan was featured in a prior Autism Confidential podcast, and this episode greatly expands on the concepts she discussed there — with a huge abundance of advice and inspiration. Hosted by Jill Escher and Leanne Morphet, NCSA Policy Chair.
