DDD

The purpose of the funding from the State of Illinois is to expand access to evaluation and treatment services for Illinois children referred for autism and developmental concerns. After a comprehensive evaluation, children are frequently referred for speech therapy, occupational therapy, behavioral therapy, and medical follow-up care. In 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicated the prevalence of autism in the United States showed 1 in 36 children have autism spectrum disorder. In addition, about 1 in 6 children aged 3–17 years old were diagnosed with a developmental disability including autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder among others. A comprehensive multi-disciplinary evaluation is recommended to diagnosis autism in children. This evaluation may include a physician, psychologist, speech and language pathologist, and an occupational therapist. Currently, there are limited resources for autism evaluations in Central and Southern Illinois. The key personnel in this program include a child psychiatrist, a child psychologist, two nurse practitioners, two nurse navigators, two social workers/behavioral therapists, two speech pathologists, an occupational therapist, two medical assistants and two office assistants. Additional staffing not covered by the proposed IL funding such as physicians collaborating with a nurse practitioner will be provided to support the delivery of the program.
