Board

Autism Spectrum Disorders Advisory Board Meeting

The meeting agenda included an agency update from the Office of Mental Health (OMH) concerning board governance progress and updates on board priorities. A presentation from SED was postponed to the April board meeting. The OMH presentation focused heavily on integrated care work, including integrated outpatient services involving OMH, DOH, and Oasis, and expanding framework to include OPWDD for developmental disability specific services. Discussion detailed OMH's expectation for programs to serve individuals with co-occurring intellectual and developmental disabilities across all service levels. Training initiatives are being implemented in focused areas such as inpatient psychiatric units, children's mental health clinics, and CCBHCs. The presentation further detailed Enhanced Step Down Programs (ESDs) for adults exiting acute care settings to stabilize them, which include CTI team support and transitional residential settings. A similar transitional program exists for youth aged 11 to 17. The speaker noted the expansion of these step-down programs across various OMH regions.
