HANDS in Autism® is conducting an Assessment of Needs in ASD Resources and Services in the State of Indiana. The data is anonymously collected and serves to inform the State and best guide recommendations for changes in policies, processes, services, and programming pertaining to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Indiana.
To help increase the number of responses, from now until October 31, HANDS in Autism® is offering an incentive to individuals and groups who complete the needs assessment survey.
What kind of incentive?
If you or a group of persons complete the Needs Assessment between August 1, 2020 and October 31, 2020, you are eligible to receive a $10 Thank-you Gift towards one of our online courses on IU Expand. These courses are self-paced, interactive and cover a broad range of topics that are relevant to community members as well as those who work directly with individuals with ASD.
How do I participate?
To receive our Thank-you Gift of $10 towards one of our self-paced online courses on IU Expand:
