9 – Strengthening communication in autism diagnoses
Summary:
- Better connectivity between services when educational psychologist added to team
- Reduction in need for additional assessments saves time and resources
- Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) have a better understanding of the information required for referrals and the assessment process
- Recommendations are linked to special educational needs processes within schools, making them accessible and relevant for SENCOs and therefore improving outcomes for children and young people
