WELCOME TO CT FEAT’S
INTERNET DISCUSSION LIST!
The principal purpose
of CT FEAT’s Internet Discussion Listserv (List) is to provide a
safe and supportive forum in which parents can network and exchange
information. Below you will find the rules for participating in the
List. Your request to be subscribed indicates that you have agreed to
abide by these rules.
Who Can Join: This
List is exclusively for parents of children with autism spectrum
disorders (ASD) who reside in
Connecticut
. Out-of-State parents contemplating a move to CT may not join it.
In general, the only exceptions will be for former CT residents who
belonged to the List before they moved out of state. Parents may join
only in their personal capacity as parents and not as representatives of
businesses or organizations.
Privacy and
Confidentiality:
(1) CT FEAT will not
sell, trade, or otherwise disclose the email addresses of anyone
subscribed to this discussion List. Subscribers to the List shall not
compile email addresses for private or commercial purposes of any kind.
(2) Subscribers agree to protect the confidentiality of
the other families on the List. Subscribers may not disclose to any
person or organization outside the List any personal information
(including email addresses) learned on the List without prior consent of
the person involved. Subscribers also may not forward posts without the
original author’s written permission.
(3) These confidentiality requirements operate on an honor system but
anyone found in violation of them will be removed from the list.
Responsibility for Posts: Subscribers are solely and exclusively
responsible for the contents of any posts they make, including any
opinions expressed therein.
Content of Posts
(1) The general guidelines for topics are
effective treatment and related issues in education, services, advocacy
and current events.
(2) Please put a
SUBJECT LINE in your posts.
(3) There are legal
issues of copyright violation when someone posts extensive copyrighted
material. For this reason, if there is a lengthy article you wish to
share, please post 1-2 paragraphs and the link to the article. If there
is no link, you may offer to send it offlist to anyone who emails you
privately.
(4) Please refrain
from posting ATTACHMENTS.
(5) ADVERTISING is
expressly forbidden. No commercial use shall be made of this Listserv or
its membership. Sending unsolicited advertisements or information of a
commercial nature to other subscribers, whether through the List or
privately, is a violation of these rules.
Netiquette:
This is a private unmoderated list meaning that email messages are
posted without prior screening or approval by the Listowner. While
vigorous discussion and varying opinions are welcome, the tone must
remain respectful. Any subscriber who makes personally derogatory
comments or otherwise engages in ridicule, excessive sarcasm or
innuendo, will be removed.
