Autism resource for local authorities and schools

The Scottish Government has provided advance notice of the publication of 'The Autism Toolbox' which is to be launched later this year.

Commissioned by the Scottish Government and authored by a multi-professional writing team from the National Centre for Autism Studies, University of Strathclyde, this resource will be made available by the Scottish Government and through the Scottish Autism Network website.

This resource has been developed to support the recommendations of the HMIE report 'Education for Pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorders' and the National Autistic Society's report 'Make school make sense'. The aim of this resource is to draw on a range of practice experience, literature and research to offer guidance to schools with provision for children and young people with autism spectrum disorders.
