Action 83 of the Autism Innovation Strategy aims to:
- examine the nature and extent of young autistic people and young people with other disabilities facing a crisis.
- examine the adequacy of the services and supports currently provided for autistic children and young people and for children and young people with other disabilities in family crisis situations.
- examine the demand, availability and appropriateness of existing respite and other community services to meet their needs.
The methodology for this research is currently being developed.
To inform this work we commissioned a literature review from the School of Nursing and Midwifery in Trinity College Dublin on the Factors that lead to the development of behaviours that challenge and prevention and management of crisis situations among children and young adults with disability.
