The National Autism Plan for Children is the completion
of the work of the National Initiative: Autism Screening and
Assessment. The NIASA core group of experts was drawn from a wide
range of disciplines and areas of expertise. Key recommendations
include a clear timeframe for assessment, a call for urgent
training of professionals in knowledge and awareness of autism
spectrum disorders, the active involvement of families in care
planning and procedures, better multi-disciplinary and multi-agency
working, and the setting up of national networks. The report's
appendices contain useful tools and reference materials.
