Pennsylvania Autism Census Project: Final Report
Oct 2009
Abstract
In 2005, the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (DPW) commissioned Dr. David Mandell and his team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine’s Center for Mental Health Policy and Services Research to conduct a census of the number of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) living in Pennsylvania. The purpose of this study was to obtain an estimate of the number of individuals living with ASD in Pennsylvania as well as to learn about demographic characteristics of that population in order to reveal the scope of need for autism-specific services and programs and to inform policy development and the design of effective services.
