Establishes Training Clinicians to Support Adults with Autism Workforce Development Program in Rutgers Center for Adult Autism Services; appropriates $500,000.
This bill establishes the "Training Clinicians to Support Adults with Autism Workforce Development Program" at Rutgers Center for Adult Autism Services. It requires recruiting 8-10 students annually from diverse disciplines (e.g., psychology, social work, education) to complete 20-40 hours weekly of intensive training, including hands-on clinical work, academic coursework, research collaboration, and a capstone project focused on improving outcomes for adults with autism. The program is funded by a $500,000 appropriation from the General Fund. It directly supports adults with autism in New Jersey by building a trained workforce to address current gaps in services and quality of life.
