Guide to Building State Systems of Care for Children and Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder & Other Developmental Disabilities (ASD/DD)

AMCHP's State Public Health Autism Resource Center (SPHARC) supports states working to improve the system of care for children and youth with ASD/DD. The Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), together with its partners, identified six core outcomes to promote a community-based system of services for all children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) under Title V.

SPHARC published two documents on improving the system of services for children and youth with ASD/DD:

Roles for State Title V Programs: Building Systems of Care for Children and Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other Developmental Disabilities [Oct. 2011]
Environmental Scan: How State Title V Programs Are Responding to Autism Spectrum Disorder and Other Developmental Disabilities [Nov. 2011] - The Executive Summary can be accessed here.

SPHARC developed learning modules around the core outcomes to provide targeted learning opportunities to state Title V programs and others working to improve ASD/DD systems of care for children and youth.
