The Scottish Strategy for Autism Progress Report - Foundation Stage (2 Years)

Overview of Progress

In line with Recommendation 1 of the Strategy, the Reference Group was reconvened, including COSLA, to oversee developments and to progress change. Whilst it maintained a strategic overview of the first 2 years of the Strategy, the Strategy Recommendations for this period were primarily driven forward by Subgroups -comprising professionals and others with a wide variety of expertise and experience- which met on a regular basis to discuss their work in progressing each of their allocated Recommendations.

We asked the Subgroup leaders to provide us with a summary of progress in the first 2 years and an overview of their work can be found in Annex 1.

Other significant work around the Strategy has also been on going and is captured in this report. Further Background Information on the Strategy can also be found at Annex 2.
