Hello
In checking out some of the resource papers on supporting people with autism
(http://www.nao.org.uk/publications/0809/autism.aspx) by the UK National
Audit Office, I noticed the following conference which should be of
interest:
Improving services for adults with autism: a national conference
Thursday 15 October 2009, The Bloomsbury Hotel, LondonWC1B 3NN
This conference will focus on the findings and recommendations of the
National Audit Office Report, Supporting people with autism through
adulthood, and the subsequent Committee of Public Accounts hearing and
report, examining the range of services for adults with autism and their
carers in England.
The Government is currently carrying out a consultation on their future
strategy for adults with autism, to be published by Spring 2010. In May this
year, the Adults with Autism Bill was introduced to Parliament and imposes a
duty on the Government to issue guidance to local delivery bodies to ensure
the autism strategy is implemented.
