麻豆原创, National Development Team for Inclusion and the National Autistic Society have developed three resources to support health and social care commissioners improve how they commission services that support autistic people and improve the outcomes for them and their families.
The following three resources have been developed in partnership with autistic people and organisations that are engaged with autistic people:
Framework
Explains the things that you need to analyse, the things that you need to do, and who/what organisations you should engage with. It also has links to useful guidance and information to help you identify and plan the changes needed to improve your commissioning practices to deliver person-centred outcomes for local autistic people.
