Ask Your Legislator
Here's an example of what to say when you Ask your Legislator
- Hi, my name is ______. I'm calling to share my experience with disabilities. People who are supported by community-based providers like Easterseals Midwest need your help, commitment, and support.
- Two of my four children, Jacob and Elroy, are under the age of 10 and are on the autism spectrum. It has been a long journey trying to understand how they need to be parented.
- Easterseals Midwest's Parent training helped me and my family be the best we can for our kids. Within a month of Parent Training, Jake began speaking in complete sentences. I truly never thought he'd talk or communicate without hitting or screaming.
- Today, it's as if the dam has broken! Our boys love to tell stories and ask questions. It's music to our ears.
- Families like mine need your help. Can we count on your continued support of people with IDD and providers like Easterseals Midwest? Thank you.
