PROGRAM INFORMATION
Short Description
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.
