Autism Spectrum Disorders Projects
The regional centers of excellence for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities were established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2001. These centers make up the Centers for Autism and Developmental Disabilities Research and Epidemiology (CADDRE) Network and include: California, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. In Colorado, CADDRE is a partnership between the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and JFK Partners at the University of Colorado Denver, and includes expertise in the areas of epidemiology, psychology, and developmental pediatrics.
The CADDRE Network is working on a study to explore possible causes and risks for developmental delays and ASD called the Study to Explore Early Development (SEED).

The ADDM Network’s methodology is a multiple source, records-based monitoring system. The goals of the ADDM Network are:
Colorado-ADDM is a partnership between the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and JFK Partners at the University of Colorado Denver.
The goal of CO-ADDM is to provide an ongoing estimate of the prevalence of ASD among children 8 years of age in the Denver Metropolitan area (Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Boulder, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties).
