The Department
of Public Welfare (DPW) has issued a request
for proposals seeking providers to develop and implement autism service
models for children and adolescents in rural Pennsylvania. The department
will fund several programs that hold the promise of improving assessment and
intervention services. The state is seeking programs that will operate across
service systems and offer a range of levels of care. One area of practice
development the grant hopes to support is the use of telemedicine and video
conferencing as part of the assessment and service delivery structure. A copy
of the request for proposals is available from the link above. The deadline
for submission of proposals is June 23.
For additional information or questions, contact Connell O'Brien.
