ISA prepared this submission in response to the Australian Government’s National Autism Strategy Discussion Paper.
ISA supports a National Autism Strategy that contributes to a greater understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) within our communities. Addressing the multifaceted and individual challenges faced by many Autistic students requires early diagnosis and access to appropriate interventions, inclusive education practices, upskilling of both our current and future education workforce and greater awareness of ASD within the broader community.
