About Us | Vermont Interagency White Paper - The Vermont Interagency White Paper on Autism Spectrum Disorders is a Report to the ACT 264 Board dated March 2006. The paper is available for download from the internet as a pdf document. The paper was co-authored by Clare McFadden, Autism Specialist with the State of Vermont Agency of Human Services and Claire Bruno, Autism Consultant with the State of Vermont Department of Education. At the request of the Act 264 Advisory Board, the State Interagency Team was charged to draft an interagency white paper to answer critical questions about autism in Vermont. In June 2005, the Department of Education and the Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living hired autism specialists to address the needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorders. The State Interagency Team delegated the writing of the white paper to the two autism specialists. The charge of the Act 264 board included questions to look at the current status of meeting the needs of this increasing population and their families. Questions address: current population, evidence-based practice, services provided by schools and social service agencies, service gaps, current and projected needs, and family supports. The autism specialists conducted a statewide assessment of supports in homes, schools, and communities.
