Current status: Answered by Adam Ingram on 29 February 2008
To ask the Scottish Executive what action has been taken in response to the report of the Autism Spectrum Disorder and Education Working Group set up to take forward the recommendations in Education for Pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorders, published by HM Inspectorate of Education in October 2006.
While the Autism Spectrum Disorder Education Working Group (the Group) has not published a specific report, the agreed output from their considerations is the production of an autism toolbox for local authorities and schools. The Scottish Autism Service Network is assisting the Group with this task and the framework for this toolbox will be published on 2 April 2008, which is World Autism Day. It is expected that the final document will published in summer 2008.
