Development

The project supports the development of statutory services within each of the 10 Local Authorities through the Autism Services Development Groups. These multi-agency groups, which include parent representatives, look at ways of developing better services for all people with autism. Identifying and Disseminating Good Practice

The project has developed a website and a quarterly newsletter for the region to ensure better access to information about autism within the Greater Manchester region and to disseminate policy development and good practice. The AutismGM Newsletter can be viewed on this site as well as other useful information.
