Grand Lake Autism Support Network

This website is awesome!  It features daily prayers (which they will send directly to your e-mail), weekly bible readings, for parents and family members of children with autism.  They also have a weekly radio message geared toward life with autism.  Log on at www.childrenofdestiny.com.

 

Need some help on advocate issues?  Disability Advocates of Oklahoma are ready to help.  Below is a description of their services taken from their website -

"Our mission is to help Parents obtain highly qualified, yet affordable, Attorneys and Child Advocates in obtaining special education services and benefits for their children with special needs."  Their link is:  http://www.DisabilityAdvocateOk.com  

 

The following link is for the Oklahoma Parent Network.  They have a great website and a yahoo group.  If you aren't on their yahoo group, you're missing out.  People from all across the state, that have children with disabilities are on this site, and it's a great place to ask questions and find out about events/workshops all across the state.  Log on at www.okparentnetwork.org.

 

The Oklahoma Autism Network is another great site.  The Oklahoma Autism Network has been instrumental in helping us get the Hope Foundation off the ground.  They have listings of statewide resources for support, education and much more.  Log on at www.okautism.org.

 

The Tulsa Autism Foundation is a great group.  Even though I live 100 miles away, they keep me informed and invited to all of their functions and fundraisers.  Check them out!  www.autismtulsa.org

 

Wanna cry?  Check out www.frinkfest.com.  This features a singer named Mark Leland and his song "Missing Pieces".  The video also features one of our own.  Christi Kellogg's son, Landon, has his picture on the video toward the end.  Black and white pics start popping up and Landon's is #12.  Christi is the founder of The Hope Foundation and the person who helped me get our group up and going.  Love you, Christi!

 

www.oasis.ouhsc.edu is a great site.  It is in Oklahoma and is very informative about Oklahoma law, etc.  They even mail me a small monthly magazine.  Sally Selvidge with OASIS also supplies all of our brochures.  Thanks, Sally!
