Executive Summary

The Ausm Program Service Network connues to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to the systems

development mandate outlined in its enacng legislaon, along with connuing to demonstrate outcomes that

are strong across the state. The Ausm Program (TAP) focuses on providing a variety of direct services andconnues to provide support to children, families and other service providers such as teachers, schools, social

groups, early intervenon providers and graduate students from several state wide universies.

TAP focuses on regional centers and coordinated, family, focused care aempts to eliminate duplicaon of eort

along with maximizing ulizaon of potenally scarce resources. TAP’s outcome data supports a solid impact

in each region regarding social skills clients, screening performed, diagnoscs completed, family treatment

educator consultaons, and trainings. It is impossible to ignore the negave eects of not only experiencing

funding delays; however the more than 50% reducon of the original funding proposal of $10.2 million. The

overall eect of these funding cuts has slowed services to children and families along with impaired overall system

development in underserved areas. One goal on our strategic plan is to work toward restoring reinstatement

of funding to TAP partners across the state so that all children and their families will not have be without thenecessary services that they desperately require.

The result of this has been the ongoing implementaon of a Service Network with half as many partners as

originally designed; however one which connues to provide training to providers and direct service to children

and families who are dealing with the many aspects of ASD. When reviewing the services provided this quarter

the benets of maintaining this Service Network with the successful collaboraon among the many independent

agency partners becomes abundantly clear. In an atmosphere of declining state nancial support, it is obvious

that this Network has been able to refocus resources along with decreasing duplicaon of services to connue

to provide a growing number of Illinois children and families the services they require to be successful. Can you

imagine the impact we could have if the TAP Service Network originally envisioned by the Illinois Governor and

Legislature were in place today?

Comparison to prior periods: The Ausm Program Service Network connues respond to the ongoing sca

crisis faced in Illinois; an analysis of the data indicates the impact is being felt at the level of both TAP Partners

and clients. Although the demand for services connues to increase, limited resources have resulted in some

necessary shis in services along with ongoing waing lists at some centers; demonstrated clearly by Screening

and Diagnosc services. A screening by a qualied professional is required before a diagnosc assessment

can be performed. Screenings this quarter increased 13% over last, and 8% over FY11Q4. At the same me

Diagnosc Assessments this quarter were the same as FY11Q4, and increased 8% over last quarter, while al

centers that provide this service have waing lists of several months. This indicates that Diagnosc Assessments

are limited by capacity rather than demand. While these Assessments are the most costly and resource-intensive

service provided by the TAP Service Network, a diagnosis is needed to iniate a number of services in the schoo

and community, as well as at TAP Service Centers. Consequently, Partners are making every eort to maintain

maximum capacity even if that means reducing capacity in other areas.

Child Treatment, including Social Skills, connues to increase, with 31% more clients enrolled in social skills

groups in Q4 than in Q3. Also during this me, Family Treatment has shown an approximate 20% increase in both

client and contacts for Q4 over Q3. Although more will be stated in the Annual Report, it must be menoned

that in spite of this increase, Family Treatment Contacts for the year have decreased. In most centers, the same

individuals provide both Family Treatment, Family Consults, and Social Skills. This overall decrease in contacts

most likely indicates that the capacity of centers, hit by decreased funding, has been reached, and Partners

are working diligently to impact the greatest number of clients with increasingly limited resources. Trainings

provided decreased 14% over FY11Q4, but only 2.5% over Q3, suggesng that the current level most likely

reects that more trainings were provided earlier in the year (overall, training increased over 11% from FY11 to

FY12) and/or the current number of training programs reects the capacity of the Network at this me.

Finally, a decrease in FCRR Visits of 6.8% comparing FY11Q4 and the current quarter is noted. Even more striking

is the 14% decrease in FCRR Visits this quarter when compared to last. Again, this reects a resource issue

Several partners have worked diligently to increase the number of hours their resource room is open to the

community, expanding into several evenings and Saturdays. These expanded hours have resulted in increased

ulizaon of the Resource Rooms, as many parents work during usual business hours, and many teachers have

diculty travelling to a resource room before it closes for the day. However, when it was necessary to re

evaluate the use of resources in light of addional funding cuts for FY2013, these expanded hours were cut back

resulng in a decrease in visitors.

As reported last quarter, TAP and the Service Network have responded to funding cuts through the reallocaon

of resources, maintaining a high level of service provision. However, connued funding cuts will impact the leve

of services available, and will result in some service oerings decreasing in order to meet the demands in other

areas. This quarter is the rst demonstrate that clearly demonstrates the impact of sustained funding cuts. TAP

and all members of the Service Network remain commied to providing high quality services to our clients and

communies; however, as resources decrease, maintaining the quality of services provided will result in furthe

decreases to the quanty of services provided.

Funding and Advocacy: As a program funded by the State of Illinois, TAP and the Service Network connue to

“share the pain” of the state’s scal crisis. The need and demand for services, educaon and resources have

grown at an even faster pace than the 78% increase in ASD prevalence reported by the CDC.

ES Metro Chicago held their 2nd Annual Ausm Awareness Ride in collaboraon with Alpha Dogs MotorcycleClub in April. The money raised at this event will assist their program in so they can connue to provide quality

services to those who need them. ES Metro connues to be a part of the policy and advocacy work through

the Enhancing Developmentally Oriented Primary Care (EDOPC) which is a partnership of Advocate Health

Care Healthy Steps Program and the Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (ICAAP). They also

parcipate in the Early Childhood Policy and Legislave Advisory Commiee through ICAAP to share informaon

about ongoing work related to early intervenon policies and ausm advocacy iniaves.

Foundaons for Adult Services for Today and Tomorrow (FASTT) located in Maryville held a fund raising event

called “Walk FASTT for Ausm” in April in which they raised $3,000.00. This funding was applied toward ongoing

programmac needs. Parents of FASTT’s clientele willing made the trip to Springeld to the state capital to

advocate on behalf of their loved ones who are in desperate ongoing need for adult services.

Trinity Services, Inc. apples and received a small grant from TAP which enabled them to reach out to loca

physicians, in order to increase their clinical capacity by expanding their assessment tools and conduct addiona

training for sta. They connue to pursue private and 3rd party billing for clinical services in addion to providing

free or reduced services for families in dire nancial need. Trinity’s clinical services have been almost 100%

covered by 3rd party reimbursements and private pay for services. Trinity has submied for a $10,000 grant

to purchase addional assessment materials, items for clinical services, resources for parents and to support

technology.

The Autism Program at a Glance

UCP Heartland developmental department raises funds through special events giving and grant wring to support

all services. Grants have been awarded to UCP Heartland from the Alton foundaon, Madison County Menta

Health Board, and St Clair County Mental Health Board. These funds support operaon costs and also provide

nancial assistance for services to families in need. UCP also accepts private pay and third party payments for

services such as Camp Free To Be.

TAP and all Service Network Partners connue to be acvely involved in advancing the needs of individuals with

ASD and their families through an involvement in a number of task forces and organizaons at both the local,

state and naonal level. TAP Central Oce is an acve member of the naonal Steering Commiee for Advancing

Futures for Adults with Ausm, the Illinois Ausm Task Force, and the Training and Clearinghouse subcommiees

of the task force. Addionally TAP leadership is working acvely to build a strong ally base with many of the

agencies that are not part of our Service Network so as to be able to work in collaboraon, and build stronger

community links (Ausm Speaks, Answer Inc., Beth Lacey Center, etc)

The Autism Program FY2012 Third Quarter Center Highlights

The TAP Service Network, with its coordinated regional system of care approach, strong university

partnerships, intensied focus on coordinated care, and consistent work on systems development connues to

preserve many essenal services for individuals with Ausm. TAP Partners are all improving the diversicaonof funding for local centers, sharing resources, and working collaboravely with other organizaons in their

communies to advance the development of systems of care across the state.

Systems Development

TAP and the Service Network Partners connue to have a decisive focus on developing stronger Systems of 

Care around the state. All Partners are acve members of at least one Transion Planning Commiee, and

provide training programs to a wide variety of community agencies. In addion, TAP and the Partners are

developing new iniaves, programs, and relaonships to further improve systems in local communies. The

Director of the TAP Center at Kreider serves as the Secretary of the Steering Commiee for the Community

that Cares, a group of agencies across a 4-county region working together to improve services for children and

families through collaboraon. Easter Seals Metropolitan Chicago works in partnership with the Advocate

Health Care System’s Healthy Steps program and the Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics

(ICAAP) to enhance primary services to children 0-3 and improve communicaons between physicians and

parents through the Enhancing Developmentally Oriented Primary Care iniave. TAP at Trinity Services

provided developmental screening informaon, tools, and other resources to 40 physicians in a 5-county area,

and are working with one pracce to develop and ongoing, formalized training and consultave relaonship.

Resource Sharing, Efcient Division of Labor and Referral Agreements

A key benet of the collaborave nature of the TAP Service Network is the ability of Partners to share

resources, knowledge, and experience. This has resulted in an improved quality of services and oen

decreases the need for duplicave resources. UCP-Heartland and the Foundaon for Ausm Services Today

and Tomorrow (FASTT) connue to strengthen their relaonship, with UCP-H providing training and access

to their resource room for FASTT sta and families, while FASTT clients increase their job and social skills

doing light janitorial work at the UCP-H Center. The developmental pediatrician at TAP Easter Seals Peoria/

Bloomington is now working with the diagnoscians at TAP Southern Illinois University, Hope, and Kreider to

provide medical consult and diagnosis through the use of telemedicine. TAP at Charleston Transional Facility

connues growing Ausm Connect, a collaboraon of several agencies in the region. In addion to developinga website, Ausm Connect and others jointly sponsored an Ausm Resource Fair at the local YMCA.

Educational Supports

Have Dreams, a TAP Collaborave Partner, provides training in Structured Teaching for educators throughout

Illinois, from 2-day introducons to a 5-day intensive class and ongoing mentoring. All TAP University Partners

and Service Centers provide resources and consultaons for their local school districts and educators. Family

and Community Resource Rooms are able to assist teachers in developing specialized supports for students

with an Ausm Spectrum Disorder. This quarter, TAP Partners collecvely provided over 400 hours of 

consultaon me to teachers, for a total of more than 1800 hours of consultaon this scal year. This is in

addion to the more than 600 educators who received training provided by TAP this quarter alone!

Diversication of Funding & Fiscal Efciencies

Every member of the TAP Service Network is required to develop and maintain a “blended funding” model

for their services. Several, like TAP at Easter Seals Rockford hold small fundraisers to maintain the ability to

provide support materials like visual schedules, picture-assisted communicaon cards, social stories, and psheets to teachers and parents without charge. TAP at the University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign augments

their sta with undergraduate and graduate interns, developing a new Ausm Praccum in conjuncon with

the University’s Psychological Services Center. TAP at the University of Illinois Chicago is working with the

University’s Department of Psychiatry to provide psychiatric services to TAP clients through the expansion

of an exisng psychiatric rotaon. TAP Central Oce is increasing the use of videoconference technology

to decrease the amount of travel that has been needed to support the Network, and has located low-cost

computer soware that provides full videoconference capability for smaller Network Partners.

The Autism Program Administrative Highlights

This nal quarter of the scal year began with Ausm Awareness Month in April, which quickly transioned

into May – a period where the Administrave sta met with each of the TAP Service Network Partners to

“review and renew.”.

Outreach

TAP Central Oce sta held several meengs with Wendy Ross, MD, FAAP- developmental and behavioral

pediatrician from Wynnewood , PA in order to begin collaborave eorts regarding training of individuals with

ASD, specically in using airports and traveling on airplanes. Dr. Ross is working with United Airlines in Chicago

as well to launch a program called High 5. They are hoping to idenfy 5 families in Chicago in order to launch

this iniave, which will be the rst city on the tour. The tour will include 5 families in 5 cies across the US.

Central Oce sta has been working closely with the Chicago Children’s Museum at Navy Pier to assist them in

revising the 2009 “Play for All” We have been able to work closely with the sta to revise that edion of theaccessibility guide for children and families living with ASD. The nal document will be completed by the end

of August 2012.

Central Oce sta is connuing their discussions with Western IL University in Macomb, IL in hopes that this

will lead to a great collaborave eort in that area. Discussions with a current faculty member who is also

a mother of two (2) sons on the spectrum have assisted in advancing this very important iniave. We are

extremely interested in opening channels in that area so as to be able to provide a service for them, along with

assisng them in their needs.

We are connuing to strengthen our outreach eorts in the Danville area. Sheila Krein, parent liaison for

central IL coordinated a parent café forum in that area with the assistance of IATAPP. The purpose of thiswas to empower parents and to give them support. Parents were able to connect and discuss issues that

were of concern to them, especially IEP issues and supporve services. Jose Ovalle, parent liaison from the

Chicago area, was the guest speaker at the C-U Ausm Network in Champaign. He spoke to the Spanish group,

aer presenng the Spanish version of “Understanding Ausm” video, which he assisted in translang from

English. Jose is a parent with twin sons on the spectrum therefore he speaks from his heart on many issues

surrounding ausm.

Jose Ovalle, parent liaison was the driving force in coordinang an outreach eort with Representave Lisa

Hernandez, from Chicago. Speakers at the event included personnel from UIC, Ausm Society of IL, TAP and

Groupo Salto. At the end of June, a very producve meeng was held with Debra Vines, Execuve Director of 

Answer Inc. We are going to be able to support this group in terms of their Dad’s group through helping to pay

for speakers. Our parent liaison, Jose Ovalle is also assisng them and will aend several of the meengs, and

is introducing them to the basis concept of understang ausm.

Collaboration

The TAP Director connues to be an acve parcipant on the Leadership Council of AFAA. This is a very

important iniave for all of us as our children are beginning to age out of entlement programs and we

need to be planning for their future in terms on adequate employment, housing and community supports.

The TAP central oce is collaborang with the Naonal ES program by co hosng the recepon for the AFAAmeeng that is being held mid July in Chicago. Have Dreams is providing the place for the recepon to be held;

speakers for the evening include the CEO of Walgreens and Have Dreams has partnered with them to provide

a training area in which to teach adults with ASD to learn all aspects of working in a Walgreens store.

We have been successful in compleng the Birds and Bees training in Rockford, Dixon, and Peoria. The training

is taking the summer o and we will resume these trainings across the network in the fall. These trainings have

been well received and highly supported by each community. This is a partnership with a graduate student

through UIUC and has been well received throughout the Network thus far.

For the last several years, Lile Friends from Naperville, IL has been subcontracng through UIC; however weare so pleased to be now be able to call Lile Friends a “true “ partner as they have contracted directly with

us. We are so pleased this has occurred and look forward to a producve partnership in the coming years.

TAP central Oce has been able to build out a permanent training center which is located at HILA. This training

center will be ulized for the structure TEACHH trainings that are oered through Have Dreams. Addionally

it will be available for all other trainings that might be oered throughout the year. It is our desire to provide

easier access to CPS and regional teachers to trainings.

Special Initiatives

As noted last Quarter, TAP has idened Early Idencaon and Intervenon as an area of special concern. Inresponse, three Network Partners developed pilot programs to evaluate new ways to improve these services,

especially in rural Illinois. These programs have all been successful, and both TAP and the involved Network

Partners look forward for further expansion of these three programs in the coming year.

Throughout Illinois, obtaining diagnosc services for Ausm Spectrum Disorders is a challenge. Most qualied

professionals are located in the larger, urban areas of the state, and the demand for evaluaons exceeds the

space available. In addion, a medical diagnosis (not just a diagnosis from a psychologist) is currently required

in Illinois if parents hope to access their health insurance to cover valuable intervenon services. There are

few physicians prepared to give a child an ASD diagnosis, and even fewer (if any) are within a reasonable

distance of much of rural Illinois. To address this concern, Easter Seals Peoria/Bloomington and SouthernIllinois University – Carbondale have iniated a Telehealth-based diagnosc service, ulizing a developmental

pediatrician at Easter Seals and the experienced diagnosc team at SIU-C (which lacks a physician). As a pilot

program, a small number of diagnosc evaluaons have been conducted ulizing this model. All individuals

involved – clients and sta – felt the use of Telehealth was successful, and worth pursuing further.

Before a diagnosc assessment is iniated, a child must rst be screened for signs that suggest the likelihood

of an ASD or other Developmental Delay. As part of improving the overall community system of care, TAP

has been working to provide training and support to community providers so that those providers are more

comfortable conducng screenings and making appropriate referrals for further services. As part of this year’s

special projects, two TAP Partners have been evaluang new ways to meet this goal. Trinity Services provided

materials developed by the Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics to local pediatricians and

other primary care physicians, as well as providing them with training and consultaon services. Trinity served

42 physicians, more than double their goal of 20. Several have requested ongoing training and consultaon,

and one has asked Trinity to consider placing a Trinity clinician in the medical pracce one day weekly to

expand services to his paents. SIU-C iniated a program of training Physician Assistant students during their

pediatric rotaon in conducng throughout developmental screenings. Ulizing a proven, behaviorally-based

program of training, coaching, and consultaon, this program has trained 2 students with 3 more to be trained

prior to the end of July. Follow-up measurements will be conducted during the fall academic semester.
