Autism Speaks – CT DEEP 20By20 – Bikers Against Child Abuse

April 4, 2021 Uncategorized

We're celebrating Autism Awareness Month with the director of clinical services at Autism Speaks discussing the role of early screening, recognizing the signs of autism, the disproportionate impact it's having among minority populations, and breaking down stigmas around this prevalent condition.

Then we're connecting with Connecticut's DEEP Commissioner to chat up the state's 20By20 initiative, which was launched to improve the transparency, predictability and efficiency of our regulatory processes across 20 targeted areas by the end of 2020.

We'll talk about the center's critical mission and how you can help by signing on to build a holiday gingerbread house virtually.

Then we'll turn to an epidemiologist with the CT Dept of Public Health to hear how the flu stands to complicate our already overburdened healthcare system in this COVID era - and how you can play a role in minimizing that pressure on our healthcare systems by getting a flu shot.

And we'll close inviting you to learn more about educational inequality and what you can do about it in your own community, by participating in an upcoming round table discussion sponsored by The Southport CoLAB and Literacy How.

Then we're going to talk about data - who uses it, why, and how data can be accessed and applied to improve your academic project, nonprofit, community agency, journalism initiative and more - as we welcome and discuss how you can be part of the Connecticut Data Collaborative.

And if you're a veteran or somebody who cares about a vet who was refused support services because of a non-qualifying discharge, we're going to connect them for help from the New Haven based National Veterans Council for Legal Redress.
