About Us
Commonwealth Autism Services’ leadership team has combined over 50 years of experience in program and policy development, monitoring performance measures, and individual client support. That translates into a balanced perspective of the challenges of policy creation and implementation versus the impact of policy on people’s lives. They have managed projects at the state, municipal, and non-profit agency level. Those projects include program development, leadership activities for short- and long-term budgeting projections, and the coordination and aggregation of data for annual legislative reports, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services audits, and other reporting.
