This handbook is essential reading for those involved in assessing, as well as for those working with Autistic children more generally.Including helpful tips and methods that can be used during the identification process, this handbook also includes lived experiences of Autistic children and case studies, and perspectives from an OT and SLT, so clinicians can gain a much deeper understanding of the young people they are working with. It also includes guidance for post-identification support and provides a clear roadmap for what happens next.
