2) Promote a proactive approach to working with individuals with ASD and their families.
3) Help children with ASD remain with their families in their Welcome communities and become productive.
4) Increase the percentage of students on the Autism Spectrum who are educated in the general education classroom.
5) Increase the effective and meaningful involvement of parents in their children’s education.
