Autism state of the states report
by Beth
Every year Easter Seals publishes State Autism Profiles that look at Autism Services in America, and this year is no exception. Our state-of-the-states report on autism services is a comprehensive and objective resource on how the fifty states, District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are responding to the needs of individuals living with autism spectrum disorders. The profiles offer information on the following categories:
- demographics
- state task force
- state insurance coverage
- Medicaid
- education and, if applicable, education programs and activities
- other state resources
- state legislative calendars
- sponsors of autism legislation
This information is helpful to parents and can come in handy when writing grants and preparing for state legislative sessions. Check it out — see how your state is doing in dealing with autism compared with the rest.
