Corona A, Bussanich P. 2019. Using data and quality improvement to address health equity for children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities. Washington, DC: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, 23 pp.

Annotation: This PowerPoint presentation discusses health equity considerations in autism spectrum disorder and developmental disabilities (ASD/DD) services, emphasizing the importance of understanding both how and why disparities affect different groups based on race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geographic location. It presents two key takeaways: first, that prevalence data must be viewed through an equity lens using frameworks like the Equitable Evaluation Framework, and second, that solutions often already exist within communities and require input from compensated local context experts and impacted leaders. The presentation illustrates these points through Wisconsin's community-centered approach and emphasizes the value of community expertise in identifying and scaling up existing assets. The slides include embedded videos and links to additional resources.
