Areas highlighted on previous calls for possible consideration:
  1. Successful implementation of interventions and services in community settings.
  2. Broad dissemination of and access to evidence based-practices, including underserved populations
  3. Improved coordination of service systems
4:15 Discussion of Change to Aspirational Goal

Communities will access and implement necessary high-quality, evidence-based services and supports that maximize quality of life and health across the lifespan for all people with ASD and their families.
  1. On the last call, the group suggested adding the text in italics.
  2. Also, does the working group want to further examine the word “necessary?” The Question 6 group is considering changing the word “necessary” in their aspirational goal to “appropriate” to avoid potential issues with determining what constitutes “necessary.” Or the word could be eliminated.
