During this interactive session, participants will learn about collaborative efforts underway in Pennsylvania to help individuals with autism improve their quality of life, achieve independence, and become contributing members of their communities. Leadership from the Autism Services, Education, Resources & Training (ASERT) Collaborative will present in-depth findings from the PA Autism Census Study and the PA Autism Needs Assessment. These comprehensive studies are the first of their kind in the nation, and are driving ASERT’s mission to develop new models and bring together existing resources locally, regionally, and statewide.
