The library welcomes Dr. Michael Friga to speak about Autism Resources and the Ithaca Autism Summit.
The Ithaca Autism Summit is a collaborative network of families, service providers and schools who are building a stronger network of care for families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The Summit met as a group last summer and fall to develop priorities and actions. The group determined that the common first steps for many of the priories included gathering more detailed information about services and resources in Ithaca and surrounding communities. The Summit leadership group developed a detailed survey for service providers and plans to begin collecting the information this summer. Once completed, the resource guide will be shared as an electronic document and connected to the 211 Developmental Disabilities Database.
