Autism Spectrum Disorder
In response to the rapidly growing number of Oregonians facing the challenges of Autism Spectrum Disorder, a legislative workgroup led by State Representative Chris Edwards will host a series of community meetings across the state to hear from parents and advocates of people with autism.
After assessing current services and investigating other states' best practices, the group has completed a draft report with preliminary findings and recommendations for the 2009 Legislature. The report outlines efforts to begin the process of bringing the various components of autism services in the education and health sector together to provide a higher and more efficient standard of care.
Before presenting a final set of recommendations to a joint meeting of the Interim House Committees on Education and Healthcare, the workgroup will be hosting community meetings throughout the state to receive feedback on the draft report.
