Our objective is to recruit a committee comprising persons with diverse perspectives, including autistic individuals, family members and caregivers, educators, medical and other allied health professionals, legislators, not-for-profit leaders, and other members of the community with a vested interest in this effort across the islands. Members of the steering committee will be asked to commit to attending monthly meetings that are tentatively scheduled to be held via videoconference on the third Wednesday of each month from 9-10 HST for the next 5 months (January 21, February 18, March 18, April 15, May 20) and to offer input regarding numerous key issues from the scope of surveillance to funding mechanisms to potential impact and desired outcomes of the prevalence monitoring effort.
