About the IACC

The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) is a Federal advisory committee charged with coordinating Federal activities concerning autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and providing advice to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) on issues related to autism. The Committee was established by Congress under the Children's Health Act of 2000, reconstituted under the Combating Autism Act (CAA) of 2006, and renewed most recently under the Autism Collaboration, Accountability, Research, Education, and Support (CARES) Act of 2019.

Membership of the Committee includes a wide array of federal agencies involved in autism research and services, as well as public stakeholders, including autistic adults, family members of those on the autism spectrum, advocates, service providers, and researchers, who represent a variety of perspectives. The IACC membership is composed to ensure that the Committee is equipped to address the broad range of issues and challenges faced by individuals and families in the autism community.

Under the CAA and subsequent authorizations, the IACC is required to (1) develop and annually update a strategic plan for autism research, (2) develop and annually update a summary of advances in autism research, and (3) monitor federal activities related to autism.

Through these and other activities, the IACC provides guidance to HHS and partners with other federal departments, research and advocacy organizations, and the broader autism community to accelerate research and enhance services with the goal of positively impacting the lives of people on the autism spectrum and their families.

For more information about the IACC, see https://iacc.hhs.gov.

Editorial Note on References to Autism

The IACC supports the use of accessible language around autism in its publications. The terms "person with autism," "person with ASD," "autistic person," and "person on the autism spectrum" are used interchangeably throughout this document. Some members of the autism community prefer one term, while others prefer another. The Committee respects the different opinions within the community on the use of this language and does not intend to endorse any particular preference. In addition, the term "autism" is generally used in this document, and "autism spectrum disorder (ASD)" is used when referring specifically to the DSM-5-TR defined diagnosis.
