The New Zealand Autism Spectrum Disorder Guideline was published in 2008 and a 2nd edition in 2016. Internationally recognised for its scope and quality, the guideline provides an evidence-based resource for people on the autism spectrum, their families and whānau, educators, service providers, policy makers, funders and researchers, both here and overseas.
The Guideline directs people toward practices that are known to work best, and away from those that don’t. Its recommendations for best practice aim to improve autism service delivery and coordination, and to ensure those on the autism spectrum lead better and more independent lives.
