ASERT has shared an opportunity for the beginning development of the 2027 Pennsylvania Autism Needs Assessment (PANA) and needs your help. We can’t do it without you!

 

ASERT is forming an ongoing, volunteer-based working group to help shape everything from the questions they ask to how they share what they learn. Meetings are virtual, begin in August 2026, and require approximately one hour of your time every three months. There will also be opportunities to join subcommittees based on your interests.

 

The PANA Stakeholder Working Group is a community-centered volunteer opportunity — not a research activity. ASERT welcomes anyone in the autism community. If you are autistic, a caregiver, or a family member, they want to hear from you!
