June 2023 Meeting Summary

We had a great quarterly Indiana Interagency Autism Coordinating Council (IIACC) virtual meeting on June 1st, 2023. In this quarterly meeting, our community engagement approach gave us a chance to dive deep into goals 3 (Early and Continuous Screening) & 4 (Access to Diverse Services). During the session, several providers, caregivers, and individuals came together to discuss these goal areas and suggested some brilliant initiatives to move forward towards achieving these goals. Together we can support individuals with ASD in the state of Indiana and expand our knowledge base to equip ourselves with better resources to improve the services that are provided. 

 

Indiana’s plan to improve conditions for those with autism has been outlined in the Indiana State Comprehensive Plan for Individuals with ASD. Learn more about the Indiana Comprehensive Plan.
