Autism Spectrum Disorders Projects
 |
The regional centers of excellence for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities were established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2001. These centers make up the Centers for Autism and Developmental Disabilities Research and Epidemiology (CADDRE) Network and include: California, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. In Colorado, CADDRE is a partnership between the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and JFK Partners at the University of Colorado Denver, and includes expertise in the areas of epidemiology, psychology, and developmental pediatrics. |

• The CADDRE Network is working on a study to explore possible causes and risks for developmental delays and ASD called the Study to Explore Early Development (SEED)

The Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network is a group of programs funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to determine the number of children with ASDs in different areas around the United States.
