This poster present the results from the SPHARC June 2015 Peer-to-Peer Exchange on Considering Culture in Autism Screening. Five HRSA autism grantees participated in the exchange (Massachusetts - host; Iowa, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Virginia), which included training on the Considering Culture curriculum. The poster provides a snap shot of a variety of strategies, partnerships and best practices for addressing cultural and linguistic barriers to identification and treatment for ASD/DD.
