Need for volunteers
In the last year since I agreed to take over as president, LouFEAT has sponsored three workshops. Pairing, Manding in the Natural Environment and and Introduction to ABA and autism.
I think we can do more. I have not done well at organizing volunteers to broaden the activities of LouFEAT.
Perhaps there is someone out there willing to be a volunteer coordinator?
I am also interested in developing a Board of Directors to determine what activities to pursue. This is not as auspicious as it may sound! I would see us have email “meetings” and coming up with a list of goals and priorities and recruit members to accomplish these. Alternatively or in addition to this, we I would like to have specific activity coordinators who could develop the following programs:
Educational Workshops – planning, contacting speakers, marketing of these
Parent to Parent Network Development – so parents could meet someone in their area to help with the practical aspects of an ABA program
Material Lending Service - to accept and loan out materials for home programs
Fundraising Activities - to offer scholarships to families for attendance at conferences, etc
Resource Guide – preparation of a local and national list of ABA resources.
Blog master – we get 8-15 visitors to the blog each week, but I need someone to add new and interesting information to help families and providers.
The need for research based resources for children and adults with autism in Louisiana is great. I would really appreciate your assistance in improving this goal!
