All-Age Integrated Autism Strategy consultation

We are developing an All-Age Integrated Autism Strategy.

This will help us understand how we can help autistic children, young people and adults living in the borough.

We have been working with autistic children, young people and adults to learn about what things they find most useful. They have helped us to identify a number of priorities and a vision for all autistic people in Bracknell Forest.

  3. Collaborate with all members of:
    1. the community
    2. services
    3. health and social care
    4. education
    5. businesses
    6. employers
    7. leisure

Our priorities are:

  1. Improving autistic children's and young people’s access to education.
  2. Tackling health and care inequalities for autistic people within our communities.
  3. Improving understanding and acceptance of autism within our communities.
  4. Supporting more autistic people into employment and vocational opportunities.
