In brief

An analysis of data for adolescents and young adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) who are evaluated as part of the Care Coordination, Assessment, and Responsive Engagement for transition-aged adolescents (t-CARE) program which replaced the former Autism Life Care Model (ALCM), which was a clinical program implemented between Fall 2014 and April 2016.

The proposed study will analyze data gathered during each of the assessment periods in order to check the efficacy and viability of the protocol.
