Aspect Research Centre for Autism Practice (ARCAP) Research Fellow, Dr Abbey Love and her team have received this year’s Autism CRC Award for Achievement in Autism Research (Translation of Autism Research).
Aspect has received funding under the NSW Government’s Disability Advocacy Futures Program (DAFP) to develop culturally responsive education resources for Aboriginal students on the autism spectrum.
Aspect launches its first Community of Practice for educators at NSW Parliament House, hosted by Mr Greg Warren MP, Parliamentary Secretary for Education and Early Learning.
We note the announcement made in the U.S. today linking autism to the use of acetaminophen (referred to as paracetamol in Australia) during pregnancy and suggesting that folinic acid could ‘cure’ or ‘treat’ autism.
Victoria University and Aspect are boosting the disability services workforce, improving the lives of Autistic adults and removing barriers to education success for neurodiverse students.
The Australian Government is currently reviewing the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) – a critical piece of legislation that protects the rights of people with disability, including Autistic people.
Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia) welcomes the Government’s announcement to strengthen early supports for children and families through the proposed Thriving Kids program.
