State Reps, Klint Kesto and Mike McCready are hosting a town hall meeting to raise awareness of autism and the coverage that residents may be eligible for under a 2012 law.
The meeting will take place on Monday, April 22 at the West Bloomfield Public Library, located at 4600 Walnut Lake Road, beginning at 7 p.m.
“Last year’s new autism coverage law opened up a lot of new options for Michigan families dealing with autism,” said Kesto, R-Commerce Township." I encourage everyone to attend and find out what resources and assistance is available to them.”
Attendees will hear presentations about the signs and symptoms of autism, treatment options and details of the 2012 law and its coverage options for Michigan families. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 50,000 Michigan residents are living with autism.
“Autism is so prevalent in our state making it important to raise awareness about the disorder and its treatment options,” said McCready, R-Bloomfield Hills. "This event will have experts on this issue who can answer questions and teach us about autism and how to help those who are suffering from it.”
Residents with questions can contact Rep. Kesto at (517) 373-51799 or KlintKesto@house.mi.gov and Rep. McCready at (517) 373-8670 or MikeMcCready@house.mi.gov.
