People with Learning Disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorders

 

The priority outcomes identified through engagement with citizens, partners and use of the prioritisation matrix; and subsequently confirmed through consultation are:

  1. To support people with learning disabilities to live independently with access to early intervention services in the community; and greater public awareness and understanding of people with learning disabilities needs.
  2. To provide more timely diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder and access to support services and information and advice.
