"MAAN jumped right in to help me with issues that I had been facing alone for quite some time. It was relieving to finally have someone on my side of the table as they could relate to what I have been going through. [My advocate] is resourceful and has been an awesome person to work with. She has helped give me more of a voice and taught me how to be less confrontational with service providers. I would recommend MAAN to anyone! I wish I would have found them years ago!"
Activities
We measure our success in actual lives changed. The following are some recent examples of our community outreach programs.
Enhancing IEP Accessibility
At MAAN, we are committed to advocating for a bill in Minnesota that aims to improve the accessibility of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process. This initiative is designed to empower families of autistic children by ensuring that they have the necessary resources and support to navigate the IEP system effectively. We believe that every child deserves a tailored educational experience, and our efforts are focused on breaking down barriers to access and fostering inclusivity within educational settings.
