Didlake Director Appointed to Virginia Autism Council

Didlake Director Appointed to Virginia Autism Council

February 9, 2011 / Didlake / Press Releases

Manassas, VA – Andrew Clarke, Didlake, Inc.’s Director of Community Services, has been appointed to the Virginia Autism Council (VAC). Clarke, a 12-year veteran of the organization, will begin his appointment at the council’s bi-monthly meeting on March 16. Clarke said his involvement advances Didlake’s dedication to working with people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) as part of its mission to provide opportunities for people with disabilities. “Working with people with autism is very different from working with people with intellectual disabilities,” Clarke said. “This appointment illustrates Didlake’s growing prominence in the state as an authority on autism within its established reputation for supporting people with disabilities.”

Clarke and other Didlake staff are now planning the application of Didlake’s increasingly recognized expertise in disability services to the field of ASD throughout the state. Clarke said he anticipates growing waves of young adults with autism exiting the school system. “When we started looking at this topic we were surprised to learn how just how little was available in the way of services or information resources for adults with autism. A short time from now there’s going to be a huge demand for services, and we intend to be ready”.

Having recently completed his Post-Baccalaureate Graduate Certificate in Autism Spectrum Disorders at Virginia Commonwealth University, Clarke is completing a Master of Education in Autism Spectrum Disorder and pursuing Board Certification in Applied Behavior Analysis.

VAC was cited as one of the lead entities in Virginia that has continually improved the service delivery of individuals with ASD in Assessment of Services for Virginians with Autism Spectrum Disorders, published by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission.
