Description
This poster presents an overview of a quality improvement initiative designed to improve access to autism diagnostic evaluations. The initiative includes implementation of an alternative evaluation model for children with a high likelihood of receiving an autism diagnosis. Preliminary data indicate this model successfully achieves a shorter evaluation length, thereby allowing more children to receive diagnostic evaluations, ultimately with the goal of decreasing wait times for an evaluation.Back to Session: Poster Symposium 4C: Clinical Service, Health, Wellness
