Infographic about RWGs. What does an AA21 Regional Working Group (RWG) do? A group of volunteers that work together with other group members to build inclusion strategies. Ideally, these groups include autistic advocates, family members, and local leaders. Each group has sub-committees working on one sector: housing, employment, community spaces, or another area. MHAF and partners guide the process and provide data and tools to support each group. Once an RWG creates a project plan, MHAF and partners work with the RWG in tracking community outcomes. MHAF and partners will compile all of the data into a report that Utah and other states can use to build more inclusion across sectors. The work of the RWGs will support thousands of individuals and families who face daily, invisible challenges and barriers to community inclusion. They also get a chance to create connections with others in the autism space and strengthen their network.
What does the process look like? RWG Info Session (for everyone interested in being part of an RWG). Divider with the words "Sign up for an RWG". Then two circles grouped together with on that says Inclusion Workshop (about neuro-inclusive collaboration) or, the other circle says Listening session (space for autistic adults to share ideas). Arrow. RWG Meeting #2 (create goals and identify leaders). Arrow. RWG Meeting #3 (create project plan and timeline). Arrow. Track outcomes. Arrow. Share findings.
