Services provided by the Autism Division
One of the agencies in South Carolina responsible for providing services for people with autism is the Autism Division of the Department of Disabilities
and Special Needs (SCDDSN). The Autism Division provides evaluation services, consultation, and training for families, professionals, and volunteers.
The Regional Consultant is the primary service delivery professional for the Autism Division. Regional Consultants can provide assistance to families,
classroom teachers, early interventionists, staff of the local Disability and Special Needs Boards and other professionals in several ways. They can
assist in developing the Individualized Educational Program (IEP) for school services and an Individual Plan of Support (IPOS) for DDSN services.
Consultants can also provide technical support in the design of specific teaching plans and training to help families or professionals implement those plans.
Each Regional Consultant serves a group of counties. To determine your Autism Division Regional Consultant
refer to Primary Resources, Section 4 of this packet, and contact the Autism Division office that is responsible for the county in which you reside.
Please contact your local board for a listing of training available in your area. This list can also be seen at:
