PA Autism Census and PA Autism Needs Assessment
The ASERT Collaborative has collected information about individuals on the autism spectrum and their families or caregivers in two ways: The PA Autism Census and the PA Autism Needs Assessment. Data was collected in order to help highlight the autism community across Pennsylvania as well as identify areas of need so that targeted services and supports could be developed to help meet those needs.
The PA Autism Census is an administrative census (or a count) of the number of individuals on the autism spectrum receiving services in Pennsylvania.
The PA Autism Needs Assessment is a survey asking individuals on the autism spectrum, their family members and caregivers about the services they need and the services they receive.
