1 State of the State: Alabama Act Early Regional Summit October Atlanta, Georgia

6 Current State Systems Coordination of Services Beginning steps have been taken: State Autism Coordinator Coordinating Council Regional Centers Comprehensive support teams - DMH Inclusion in Home Communities Alabama Council for Developmental Disabilities (ACDD) Medical Home Grant (Medicaid) Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program (ADAP)

7 Statewide Autism Legislative Activities: Alabama Autism Task Force HB 23 Alabama Autism Task Force (Formed 3/07) (27 appointed members and many volunteers) Charged with recommending ways to improve the lives of individuals with ASD and their families: 1. Statewide Autism Awareness & Needs Assessments - 9/07 Awarded grants to conduct by AL DD Council 6/08 Completed Final Assessments (available online) 2.

8 Statewide Autism Legislative Activities: Alabama Interagency Autism Coordinating Council HJR3 (5/08) / HB 41 (4/09) Riley Ward Alabama Autism Support Act To develop a long-term plan, reviewed annually, for a comprehensive statewide system of care, which, to the extent practical, is derived from scientific based research and nationally recognized best practices (p. 7).

10 More Collaborations Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program Alabama Autism Providers Network Annual Autism Conference Annual Early Intervention and Preschool Conference ASA Camps Smart Start (Alabama Partnership for Children)

11 Current Challenges and Gaps Early Identification Lack of professional and public awareness of early signs. Need for medical professional training and on-site consultation regarding use of screening instruments at 18 & 24 month well-child visits. Need for community-based services; Alabama is a rural state designated as a HRSA Health Professional Shortage Area. Diagnosis Average age of diagnosis at 66 months (CDC, 2007) Lack of access to services (AANA, 2008) Few providers and agencies with specialized assessment training. Rural nature of state makes access limited Long waiting lists (9-12 months) Inconsistency in diagnostic criteria across state agencies.

12 Current Challenges and Gaps Intervention Most (69%) Alabamians know of no services in their community Type of service and quality are based on availability rather than evidence base or individual need Evidence base not reviewed regularly and standards not set Eligibility criteria varies by agency and may not capture SE deficits Preschool not universally available Intensity of service is low & progress slow Over ½ children 0-3 years receive <4 hours per month; Over ½ children 3-5 years receive <29 hours per month (AANA, 2008) Decisions to continue/discontinue particular intervention strategy are not data-based and evaluation of individual progress occurs at lengthy intervals Family Support & Education Lack of on-going support; Difficulty accessing knowledgeable supports Shift away from family-centered services at 3

13 Current Challenges and Gaps Provider Training Providers not trained to fidelity in up-to-date evidence based interventions Lack of coaching and technical assistance to ensure that interventions are implemented to fidelity and individualized Coordination of Services Fractionalized service system No centralized clearinghouse of information about existing services Most children do not have a service coordinator beyond age 3 Inclusion in Home Communities Exclusion due to lack of awareness/acceptance in systems families typically turn to (ex. churches, community centers) Services are concentrated in population centers (I-65 corridor)

14 Looking Towards the Future Individuals with ASD will experience a lifetime of seamless services from the earliest detection to timely diagnostics and individualized evidence-based and best practice interventions in their home communities. Families will have access to the information, support, training, and resources they need.
