Help is where you find it, I guess. Has anyone gone through this program?
"Autism Empowerment (this is not a BSA leadership program) and their Autism and Scouting Leadership Training Program is one of just sixteen national non-profit recipients (and the only Northwest based honoree) of a 2012 Family Services Community Grant from Autism Speaks. The awards were announced in late December 2012 and Autism Empowerment will be receiving their grant award check in January 2013.

Based out of Vancouver, WA and serving locally, nationally and worldwide, Autism Empowerments Autism and Scouting Leadership Training program works to train leaders about Autism, Aspergers and inclusiveness within a variety of scouting venues including but not limited to Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Royal Rangers, American Heritage Girls, Sea Scouts, Campfire Girls, Impact Girls and Geek Scouts.
