WILTSHIRE Council is asking for people’s views on plans to improve services for people with an autism spectrum condition.
The plans are being developed by the Wiltshire Autism Partnership which includes individuals on the autism spectrum, parents, carers and key professionals.
Supported by national guidance, the Wiltshire Autism Partnership has written the first part of a strategy which explains what Wiltshire is intending to do to improve the lives of people with autism. Plans include improving information about how many people have autism in Wiltshire, to increase awareness and understanding about autism, to develop a fair and equal way for people to get a diagnosis, to improve access for adults with autism to the services and support they may need to live independently and to support adults with autism into work.
Public feedback will help to inform and shape a plan detailing how the changes will be made in Wiltshire.
To have your say, complete one of three questionnaires via the Wiltshire Council website – www.wiltshire.gov.uk/autismconsultation The consultation period will end on Tuesday, January 31 2012.
