We've systematically reviewed the research evidence, engaged in a range of community consultation activities, and then systematically taken the evidence from those activities and turned it into a set of draft Recommendations and Good Practice Points. The initial round of consultation was completed in April 2022. Community consultation activities were undertaken with parents and caregivers, service providers, and the broader autism community, children and young people on the autism spectrum, and autistic people of all ages who communicate primarily in ways other than speech.

Reviews of the evidence
A series of systematic reviews helped inform the Recommendations within the Guideline.

Our team
The team working to develop the guideline includes people with diverse knowledge, skills, experience, and perspectives. The team members represent key stakeholder communities including autistic individuals, parents/siblings/caregivers, practitioners, and peak bodies.
