All members of the NCSA Texas Chapter are invited to attend a chapter meeting on Wednesday, April 23, at 7:00 pm.

Texas attendees of the 2025 NCSA Authentic Awareness Autism Assembly in DC on April 2-3 will share with you the advocacy training and tools we received and the advocacy outcomes of our meetings in Senate and House offices.

We will also discuss the 89th Texas Legislative Session, highlighting bills filed which we think may benefit those with severe autism and their family members. We will discuss ways you can voice your support so people with severe autism are no longer left behind.

We will also share a member survey, in English and Spanish, which is designed to give your Texas Chapter Directors an understanding of our membership demographics and policy priorities so we can be responsive to your needs.

Contact Texas State Chair Ginnie Muller for details at ginnie@ncsautism.net
