Tuesday, Nov 03, 2015
Oakland University has received a $380,000 grant from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) as part of a statewide effort to better treat and understand autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This is the third year that Oakland has received funding to further research and supports for this population.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ASD is the fastest growing developmental disability in the country, with approximately one in 68 children diagnosed nationwide. During the 2014-15 school year, the Michigan Department of Education reported 17,986 children with ASD in special education statewide – the annual growth rate has been 7 to 8 percent in the last five years.
