PA DOH Announces Funding Opportunity for Increasing ASD Diagnostic Services
The PA Department of Health’s (DOH) Bureau of Family Health is excited to announce a funding opportunity for Pennsylvania-based community-based organizations, public health organizations, local governments, or health care organizations that have the capacity to provide services to people with or at-risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Pennsylvania. The opportunity will connect organizations to the Autism Diagnostic Clinic (ADC) program in order to increase access to diagnostic services for ASD and develop support systems for caregivers of children diagnosed with ASD. From March 6, 2025, until 1:30 pm April 17, 2025, DOH is soliciting applications. The overall goal of this funding is to provide access to autism diagnostic services along with community-based resources and education.
The Autism Diagnostic Clinic (ADC) program utilizes innovative telehealth technology to increase access to diagnostic services for ASD. The clinic partners with two health systems to expedite diagnoses for children aged 18 months to 3 years. Children who are initially screened as at-risk for ASD are referred from Early Intervention to the ADC, which then schedules diagnostic services for the children within six months of the referral.
More information on this Request for Applications can be found at PA Marketplace.
If you have questions or need additional information, you can send them electronically or 717-772-2763.
