Library Item Name:

Autism Society of America: Serving Victims of Crime with Autism 		   
Summary Statement:

ASA Addresses Needs of Crime Victims with Autism - As part of its Crime Victims with Autism Assistance, Education, and Training Program, a project funded by the Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime, the Autism Society of America has created a series of fact sheets and brochures to assist crime victim assistance professionals, families, and individuals with autism. A 2007 ASA survey of individuals with autism and their families revealed that 35% of individuals with autism have been the victim of a crime and the ASA is taking steps to help communities and professionals provide crime victim assistance. These much-needed materials are the first of a series of publications designed to improve services to crime victims with autism. Watch for the project's training curriculum which will be available in the coming months!
