Hi! Welcome to Fayette Family Net, a new website that offers resources and networking to Fayette County families who have family members with special needs. When my family moved to the area three years ago, we found ourselves overwhelmed by the amount of resources available, but still not knowing quite where to start in our search for assistance. In an effort to assist others in their search, I've contacted the various agencies listed on this site to provide a reference point for the services available. By linking and networking, we can reach our common goal of helping families in our community. This site has been developed uniquely for the purpose of providing guidance to our families right here in Fayette County, who have a loved one with special needs. This site is a work-in-progress, and will be updated continually, as new information becomes available. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope this site can be of help to you and your family. |

| Meet with Ohio Senator John Carey to discuss Autism Legislation |
A note from Tim Wiseman, Sr:
I have a favor to ask. On March 26th, 2010, at The Court View Restaurant in
Washington Court House at 11am, I'm going to meet with our Ohio Senator John
Carey.
I'm trying to get him to vote for these bills.
I do not know a lot about Autism, not like a parent with a Autistic child, My
nephew has autism but he lives in south east Ohio and I don't see him much.
But I have became involved in trying to get autism legislation passed by getting to
know Rep. Celeste and talking to some people in Fayette County as well as Ohio
Rep. Pryor who represents Fayette, Pickaway and Ross counties.
These bills may have a hard fight in the Ohio Senate and if you would like to come
and meet with Senator Carey it may help him to understand the need for these
bills? ( Doug Krinsky and an Autism lobbyist may make it but they have not said
for sure yet.)
Thank You,
Tim Wiseman Sr.
