There's a first of its kind approach to improving autism care in Ohio, and program organizers want you to get involved.

The Ohio Department of Health is funding The Autism Diagnosis Education Pilot Program through the American Academy of Pediatrics, Ohio Chapter. We're looking for doctors to get involved in a screening program to look for signs of autism during routine well-child visits. The plan would yield an earlier diagnosis while more quickly linking families with the appropriate services.

We encourage you to spread the word about this plan to any members of the medical community. Anyone can learn more about the program and how to apply through www.ohioaap.org. You can also contact the Project Manager with any questions at (614) 846-6258 or through dfarkas@....
