CASE EXAMPLES

Respite Care Access & Utilization

Context:
Community-informed research examining barriers to accessing respite care for families of individuals with autism, with a focus on higher support needs.

Approach:

Collected and analyzed lived-experience data from caregivers
Identified patterns in service availability, eligibility, and real-world accessibility
Examined gaps between “offered services” and “usable services”

Key Insights:

Significant gaps between the existence of respite programs and actual accessibility for families
Barriers included provider shortages, eligibility constraints, and lack of clear navigation pathways
Families frequently reported delayed or inconsistent access, even when services were technically available

Outcome:
Findings contributed to broader discussions around service gaps, resource allocation, and the need for more responsive, family-centered respite models.

Workforce Training & Service Readiness

Context:
Exploration of workforce preparedness within autism services, particularly related to supporting individuals with higher support needs.

Approach:

Reviewed community feedback and service experiences
Identified recurring themes related to training gaps and service delivery challenges
Examined alignment between training standards and real-world demands

Key Insights:

Workforce training often lacks depth in supporting complex or high-support-needs cases
Families reported inconsistencies in provider readiness and quality of care
High turnover and insufficient specialized training contribute to service instability

Outcome:
Insights highlighted the need for more targeted, experience-informed training models and reinforced the importance of workforce development in improving service quality and continuity.

**These insights were developed in connection with community-informed research and engagement with stakeholders, including work relevant to the National Council on Severe Autism, Florida Chapter.
