Save the date for the upcoming Autism Care Pathway Webinar on Thursday, October 24th, 2024. Open to professionals, parents, and carers.
The webinar will feature Professor Jonathan Green presenting new scientific evidence that supports the development of a proactive and integrated autism identification and care model, spanning from early childhood to school support. The evidence includes new models of early identification, the potential use of digital technology, and family-focused dyadic intervention for parents and their children to promote sustained development. This represents a shift from a reactive to a developmentally focused approach in line with the values and aspirations of autistic individuals and their families/carers.
Additionally, Kate Lemon, a speech and language therapist at Oxford NHS Foundation Trust, and her colleagues Katy Willis and Liz Murphy will share their experiences working with families and empowering settings with the support of specialist teachers.
Furthermore, Jane Case, a senior programs manager at GM NHS Bury, alongside her colleague Debi Walker, a Director at First Point Family Support, will discuss the implementation of PACT within their service offering.
We invite you to join our webinar and contribute to the progress of evidence-based autism care pathways, making a meaningful impact on autistic individuals and their families.
