Policy Advocacy | Autistic Self Advocacy Network. ASAN engages in a wide array of policy advocacy and systems change advocacy to ensure that the Autistic community is represented whenever autism is discussed in the halls of power. Our policy center produces reports and briefings on issues of public policy, as well as systems change toolkits for advocates. Read our reports and briefings. See our toolkits for systems change. “Public policy” refers to the broad scope of laws, regulations and other government actions.
Many of these can have a profound impact on Autistic people and other people with disabilities. For example, most disability services at the state and local level are funded through Medicaid, a program which is a partnership between the states and the federal government. ASAN works through our relationships with Members of Congress, their staffs and relevant executive branch agencies to advance the interests and perspectives of Autistic people in these types of decisions.

A Critical Review of the Performance of The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee Meeting. Thank you to EBCALA (Elizabeth Birt Center for Autism Law and Advocacy) for this report: A Critical Review/History of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee In 2006, Congress passed federal legislation that allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to address the autism epidemic. There was little doubt our nation was facing a crisis of unparalleled proportion or that we urgently needed to address it. Legislators on both sides of the aisle collaborated and eventually united to pass the Combating Autism Act (CAA) to do so.
Part of the legislation called for the creation of a panel of experts to develop a strategic plan for autism research. This panel was to consist of medical experts, philanthropists, activists, and parents nominated by their peers and selected for their expertise, leadership, integrity, and commitment. Despite Congress’s original intention, few can argue that the IACC thus far has been effective. Critique of the Newly Appointed IACC Members Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Refrigerator mother theory.
