Cllr Huw David, WLGA Spokesperson for Health and Social Care said:

“The WLGA welcomes the publication of the Refreshed ASD Strategic Action Plan highlighting the commitment to making real and significant progress in the services, care and support available to people with autism in Wales. As ân organisation we are proud to have been key contributors to the successes achieved as a result of the previous action plan, and will continue to ensure that Wales leads the way by supporting the development of the new integrated autism service.”

The Plan outlines actions to:

  • introduce a 26-week waiting time target from referral to first appointment for children with autism
  • transform the education support for children with ASD
  • implement a national assessment pathway for children
  • improve employment opportunities for people with autism
  • support organisations to become Autism-friendly
  • raise awareness of information and resources.
