In response to states' interest, NECTAC queried Part C and Section 619 Coordinators regarding certification or endorsements for personnel working with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and how states provide services for children diagnosed with ASD. NECTAC utilized stakeholders to develop and refine a series of questions related to these topics. Several Part C and Section 619 Coordinators then reviewed a draft on-line survey and their feedback was incorporated into a revised survey. The on-line survey was conducted during the period of June 18, 2008, until July 10, 2008. States were given the option to indicate whether they would like their state to be identified. Based on the responses, states have not been identified.
