New Jersey launches autism registry to improve care
October 11th, 2009From the [NJ] Star-Ledger:
The state with the highest rate of autism has launched a registry to track cases and guide parents to promising treatments. The New Jersey autism database is confidential and restricted to medical professionals who are required by law to report diagnoses of the condition.
“The New Jersey Autism Registry is a great advancement in the state’s ability to accurately identify the prevalence of autism, and that will enable us to better serve those families in the future with the most appropriate array of services,” Health Commissioner Heather Howard told parents at the Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center in New Brunswick.
