REGIONAL
CENTERS FOR AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS
A partnership of six
university-affiliated programs across New York
State with an overarching goal of identifying,
disseminating, and assisting in the
implementation of evidence-based practices to
build capacity to improve services and outcomes
for children and youth with autism spectrum
disorders.
The University at Albany
currently serves as the headquarters for the
statewide network, with partners at the
University of Rochester, Canisius College/Summit Educational Resources, Inc., New
York Medical College/Westchester Institute for
Human Development, Hunter College-CUNY, and
Queens College-CUNY.
Using a regional model approach,
an approach demonstrated to be a successful
paradigm around the nation for providing
community education and technical assistance,
resources are now available to families and
professionals in areas of NYS that have not had
access to cost-effective services in the past.
Each of the six centers provides high quality
autism spectrum resources to individuals and
families affected by autism, and to school
personnel and community providers.
