Parent Resource Sharing: Indiana Resource Center for Autism (IRCA) - "I just wanted to pass along a great resource that I have found to be very helpful in assisting with many things, especially educational programming. The Indiana Resource Center for Autism has a great website.  They have some wonderful resources under the IRCA Articles header that may be of assistance to many parents. They also have a great newsletter that you can subscribe to...they have trained over 200 educational district teams to assist individuals with autism within educational settings in Indiana and also have worked to assist groups in changing legislation regarding Medicaid waivers and insurance coverage issues." - Carolyn G.
