This document was developed through the efforts of the

Autism Task Force, a group comprised of parents and professionals.

The purpose of the initial document was to provide guidelines in

assisting families and professionals in assessing, treating, and developing

educational programs for young children who exhibited characteristics

of Autism Spectrum Disorder/Pervasive Developmental Disorder

birth through five. There were three committees who contributed to the

document, focusing on Family Support, Medical, and Education.

The Autism Task Force completed the birth through five guidelines in

partnership with the Bureau for Children with Medical Handicaps

and the Bureau of Early Intervention Services of the

Ohio Department of Health.

It was the decision of the task force members to continue their

efforts by writing guidelines for individuals with ASD/PDD ages six

through twenty-one. The task force membership was expanded to

include expertise in the areas of adolescents and adults with ASD/PDD.

Additionally, a Community Transition committee was added.

The Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council supported the effort

by providing staff assistance.

The birth through five and six through twenty-one documents

were merged to create the final document as presented.

The Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council approved funding

for a project to market and distribute the guidelines to

professionals and families of individuals with ASD/PDD.

Thanks are given to the members of the Autism Task Force for

without their dedication and tireless efforts, these

guidelines would not have been possible.
