Presenters

Session Description
The focus of this presentation is to support families, educators, county case managers and providers who serve children, youth, and young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related conditions. This session will provide listeners a clearer understanding of Minnesota's system of supports across the state agencies of Department of Health, Department of Education, Department of Employment and Economic Development and Department of Human Services. Representatives from DHS will provide an overview of what services are available in education, health care, public health, and social services – and how to best access those services, including the funding necessary for families to access these services. An emphasis will be placed on how to determine which services and supports are best suited for which person and family and how to coordinate the services a person is receiving. Information will be provided on the Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) benefit, efforts to address the shortage of qualified healthcare workers in MN, the new Autism Portal website and other projects that are currently being facilitated at the state level to better serve individuals with ASD and related conditions.
