A grant from the Maryland State Department of Education has supported a pilot program of autism screening in thirty Maryland practices previously not doing any screening. We will be presenting results of the program in Oct., 2010 for review and possible spread to other practices in Maryland. Practices are using CHADIS for the screening and also have access to all the other tools in CHADIS and all practices are doing comprehensive screening.
