All-age autism strategy
The purpose of this strategy is to set out our objectives and strategic direction to support autistic people of all ages and their families, so that they have an equal opportunity to lead fulfilling and rewarding lives. Lincolnshire’s all-age autism strategy outlines our commitment in Lincolnshire to do more to help autistic people and how we intend to deliver at a local level on the objectives set out within the national autism strategy.
The Lincolnshire Autism Partnership Board (LAPB) is responsible for overseeing the delivery of this strategy. It consists of a range of representatives from partner organisations and stakeholders, who work in collaboration to drive this agenda forward and develop ways of improving services and support for autistic people. The LAPB includes professionals from education, health and social care, mainstream public services, voluntary sector organisations and, importantly, autistic people and their family members and carers.
The focus of this strategy is on achieving the 15 priority challenges for action that are set out in the government’s national autism strategy. The strategy sets out our local key themes and issues that have been identified as being of the most importance to autistic people and their families in Lincolnshire.
