UNDERSTANDING THE CONDITION

Every child with autism is different.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition associated with differences in communication, social interaction, behaviour and development.

Children can have very different strengths, abilities and support needs. Understanding the individual child is therefore an important part of planning appropriate support.
