Promising Practices in HCBS: Connecticut – Pilot Program for Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Connecticut is operating a state-funded home and community based services pilot program to help adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) gain the skills to become contributing members of the workforce. The program serves people with ASD who do not qualify for the State’s Medicaid home and community-based services waivers. This pilot program targets individuals who need continued supports to pursue employment opportunities and improve their independent living.
