The Autism Society - Northwestern Pennsylvania has contracted Strategy Solutions, Inc. to complete a a Regional Needs Assessment of the service delivery system for persons with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Recent statistics signify that the incidence of autism is growing. This assessment will provide a venue for consumers and their families as well as the providers of autism services to express their needs. This effort will provide valuable insight into existing gaps in autism services throughout Northwest PA. The project will also provide an inventory of existing service providers and the programs/services that are currently available through each provider. A centralized database of information will then be developed utilizing this information.
Parents, professionals, and general community members are being invited to open forums throughout the region to provide their personal and professional perspectives of their vision for the future of autism services in Northwestern PA. Participants will also participate in an analysis of the current Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats to the current system and make recommendations on how it could be improved.
Your input is very important to this process. This is your chance to assist in developing an Ideal Service Delivery Model to support persons with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families.
Please refer to the attached flyer for information on an upcoming forum near you.
