Statewide Autism program moves to Department of Education

Delaware- The Delaware Office of Statewide Autism Programs is now apart of the Delaware Department of Education.

The office which was once known as the Delaware Autism Program provided support to students with autism.

The Christina School District was formerly responsible for administering the state funded program. But effecting January 1st the group has been folded into the state department of education.

Secretary of Education Mark Holodick said: “As a statewide program, moving the office to a state agency just makes sense. The change allows us to better coordinate with other state supports and programs so ultimately we can better serve our children with autism.”

With this move the creation of a new group known as the ‘Autism Resource Support’ group has been formed.

The Group will continue to provide assistance to students and public schools with necessary support.
