E-News July 2006
Here is your update on the TACA (TALK ABOUT CURING AUTISM) Group for July
2006 - #1. As always, email your thoughts and/or questions. I want to make
this e-newsletter informative for you. Let me know your thoughts on how I
can improve it.
If this email is NEW to you and you don't recognize the name... WELCOME!
These emails happen two to four times a month for the Southern California
autism support group called TACA. As always, email your thoughts and/or
questions to tacanow@cox.net. I want to make this e-newsletter informative
for you. Let me know your thoughts on how I can improve it.
Talk About Curing Autism (TACA) provides general information of interest to
the autism community. The information comes from a variety of sources and
TACA does not independently verify any of it. The views expressed herein
are not necessarily TACA's. We focus on parent information and support,
parent mentoring, dietary intervention, the latest in medical research,
special education law, reviews of the latest treatments, and many other
topics relating to Autism. Our main goal is to build our community so we
can connect, share and support each other. TACA has an official web site
at: www.tacanow.com
