Project Details
Description
Over 20 years of research at The University of Manchester has shown that family-focused social communication interventions for autistic children and infants at high likelihood of being autistic are effective at improving social-communication skills, and consequent improved child and parent outcomes.
As a result, we have confidence that early autism diagnosis and interventions are important to improve outcomes for autistic people. Currently, autism policies in England focus narrowly on reducing wait times to receive a diagnosis, thus reducing the opportunity develop an improved diagnostic pathway which may improve the mental health and wellbeing of autistic people.
This collaboration between Professor Jonathan Green, stakeholders, and NHSE seeks to build on evidence to produce a more effective autism care pathway.
