The Children's Partnership submitted a letter to California State Senator Alquist as a sponsor of SB 1050, which establishes an Autism Telehealth Taskforce within the Department of Developmental Services (DSS).
It requires DDS to identify a Lead Administrator that will be responsible for the activities and work of the Taskforce. The Taskforce will provide technical assistance to DSS in the area of telehealth services for individuals with ASDs. Further, it will provide recommendations for the implementation of at least one demonstration site project that promotes the use of telehealth and technology to assist and improve the delivery of services for children with ASDs.
