Have you completed the Autism Spectrum Disorder Survey?

To call greater attention to the ongoing and sometimes critical lifetime challenges of children, youth and adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Magellan Health Services of Arizona is conducting a feedback survey. Our goal is to obtain a more comprehensive overview of "where we are," and collect and evaluate information about our current system in Maricopa County as it pertains to service utilization, barriers, limitations and gaps. By doing so, we hope to create a foundation for future educational, service and support opportunities for children, youth, adults and their families who experience the multiple dimensions of autism spectrum disorder.

 

Because of your leadership and expertise, we are reaching out to you to participate in completing the survey and help us obtain a higher response rate by having your staff complete the survey as well. To access the survey, please click HERE.

 

If you have questions, please contact Wendy Cholfin, manager special populations for Magellan Health Services of Arizona, at (602) 572-8283 or [email protected].

Magellan would like to invite your agency to participate in a survey focused on capturing the evidence-based interventions currently being utilized for adults receiving serious mental illness and/or general mental health and substance abuse services within the central Arizona behavioral health system. Your participation is vital to Magellan and our system of care! Your responses will be used to help further our system's mission to create an integrated system of care that achieves greater health and wellness for those challenged with serious mental illness.

 

We appreciate you taking a few minutes to complete the survey, linked HERE, by Friday, Nov. 30. The survey takes only a few minutes to complete and is categorized by identified conditions (i.e. Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia). Click HERE for further details.
