Autism CRC is pleased to begin work on a national practice guideline for supporting the development and participation of children on the autism spectrum and their families.
This guideline will build on the comprehensive and current review of the international high-quality evidence base presented in our 2020 report, Interventions for children on the autism spectrum: A synthesis of research evidence. It is essential that this science is now operationalised in the Australian context, combining the evidence-base with the expertise of both practitioners and people with lived experience as equal partners in the process.
The guideline will inform and equip families, so they might make more informed choices, and provide health, disability, education and other child services professionals with a unifying set of language and standards for consistent, effective and ethical program delivery.
