Post-diagnosis support for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, their families and carers consists of two reports by Kylie Valentine and Marianne Rajkovic from the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs. The first report concentrates on younger children and the second on older children.
The authors conducted literature reviews to address the experiences of diagnosis, treatment and support for families with children who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. They focus on the impact of Autism Spectrum Disorder on families and on their perceptions of the benefits of the treatment received and support models provided, as well as intervention studies and programs that assist transitions from school. Parents and Autism Spectrum Disorder service providers across Australia were also interviewed.
