ABOUT SPHARC
AMCHP’s State Public Health Autism Resource Center (SPHARC) is a comprehensive web-based resource center intended to provide ongoing technical assistance and facilitate cross-state learning to increase the capacity of states, particularly Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) programs, in developing and implementing systems of care for children and youth with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities (ASD/DD).
Since 2008, SPHARC has been a leading national resource center for state and jurisdictional public health professionals as well as others involved in the ASD/DD field. SPHARC’s work focuses on four major areas: resource development, technical assistance, peer learning, and centering lived experience.
