Five Recommendations
• Acknowledgment that many are possible• But five seem most justifiable from these
findings
![Page 45: Services & TN ’ s Families of Children with ASD](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816050550346895dcf7c3e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Recommendation #1
• Increase Professional Training• Why?
– Lag between parent concern-consultations and ultimate ASD diagnosis
– Going to too many professionals before diagnosis• What exactly?
– Screening (like MD-STAT), for many disciplines– Better referral information (WHO gets called?)
![Page 46: Services & TN ’ s Families of Children with ASD](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816050550346895dcf7c3e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Recommendation #2
• Increase-Target Services for Older Children• Why?
– Many problems increase (mainly anxiety-depression, ADD, other MH concerns)
– Many children with these problems not receiving counseling/MH care
• What exactly?– Identification of MH professionals who serve (are
good at serving?) children-adolescents w/ASD
![Page 47: Services & TN ’ s Families of Children with ASD](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816050550346895dcf7c3e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Recommendation #3
• Increase Specific Types of Services• Why?
– Although all services should to be increased, several seemed especially problematic
• What exactly?– ABA-behavioral supports (school & community)– Parent-related supports (P groups, workshops)– Specific health (DAN doctors, genetic & sleep
evaluations)
![Page 48: Services & TN ’ s Families of Children with ASD](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816050550346895dcf7c3e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Recommendation #4
• Increase Attention to Rural Areas• Why?
– Rural > Non-rural for• Some co-occurring conditions • Higher percentages who cannot access ABA, parent,
and special medical services
• What exactly?– Given relatively short distances (& good highway
system), is issue more one of knowledge-referrals?
![Page 49: Services & TN ’ s Families of Children with ASD](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56816050550346895dcf7c3e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Recommendation #5
• Increase Coordination of Services• Why?
– For sample overall:• 90% want service coordination; 6% get it• Only 1/3 of providers even know of others; only 13-15%
often talk with or plan/coordinate services
• What exactly?– Need to develop mechanism to make planning-
coordinating common (& compensated) part of service practice
