Autism Initiative
Autism is considered a neurological disorder which affects communication, social interaction and behavior. According to the CDC, 1 in 88 children are diagnosed with Autism (CDC, 2008). The Autism initiative was created as a response to findings of the Connecticut Task Force on Issues Relating to the Education of Children with Autism. The report identified some of the current best practices for educating children with autism and urged that more training opportunities be made available for families and educators.
