Summary

Delaware has helped several adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) work alongside people without disabilities, using both supported and competitive employment. The state emphasizes early transition planning for youth graduating from the school system. It also provides additional hours of support for Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) waiver participants with a history of significantly challenging behaviors. Over 50 waiver participants with ASD are employed in the community.
