Subcommittee members discussed a proposal to contract with a psychologist to provide autism assessments that could be available to clients across clinics in Cayuga County. Staff said agencies will review their current waitlists to determine how many individuals need assessments; that inventory will inform whether and how a contract would be structured.
The item was presented as part of the director's report and no formal motion or vote was recorded at the meeting. Staff did not provide a target timeline or estimated budget for the contracted assessments; those details remain to be determined following the agencies' waitlist reviews.
