CASDA knows these are unprecedented times for the disability community and wishes to support how we can building back better as a more coordinated sector emerging out of the COVID-19 crisis. To do so, since March 2020, CASDA has been coordinating autism-related data modules and pan-disability data collection initiatives to help select meaningful indicators, mitigate duplication, and ensure that collected information leads to action.
