About
In 2008, the Ministries of Health and Education published the New Zealand Autism Spectrum Disorder Guideline (NZ ASD Guideline).
Bringing together the best evidence then available, the NZ ASD Guideline recommends steps to improve services and support for people with ASD.
"Implementing the NZ ASD guideline is everyone’s responsibility."
