Happy New Year! We just had a successful first NSSLHA
meeting of the year this past Monday, featuring our guest speaker, alumna Susan
Simon, SLP and recruiter for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD).
She has been working for LAUSD since 1998, and came to speak with us about the
benefits of working for a school district, and for LAUSD. </div>

guaranteed by the state of CA, a monthly income upon your retirement until
death. That amount is based on how many years you have served, your age at
retirement, and your highest salary. 8% of your salary is taken off your gross
pay, pre-tax, and placed into an account where the money is invested. This is
unlike a 401K, where the money can decrease. The money is invested so you get
interest on it. See <a href="http://www.calsters.com/">www.calsters.com</a> for

The numbers show that <span style="font-style: italic;">1 in every 110 children</span> in America is identified with a diagnosis <span style="font-style: italic;">on the autism spectrum</span> ( US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). With a variety of characteristics that include difficulties in social interaction, communication impairments and atypical behaviors that unintentionally exclude children from their peers, we need to do our part to help those exceptional individuals with autism.<br /><br />So <span style="font-weight: bold;">let's show our support</span> for the services that assist children/adults with autism, the families that work hard to give the best quality of life possible, and most importantly, for the children who have autism themselves.<br /><br />Join the NSSLHA team and take part in the Walk for Autism on <span style="font-weight: bold;">Saturday, April 21, 2012</span>.
