Alltogether Austism Coordination Role
Published 04 May 2009, Posted in Northland
Altogether Autism is pleased to advise that Autism New Zealand is to undertake provision of Information Coordination roles in regions throughout New Zealand under contract to Altogether Autism.
This follows the recent disestablishment of ASD Advisor positions and the signalled transformation of the approach to provision of regional services.
Adri Isbister, LIFE Unlimited Chief Executive said that this new arrangement enhanced the regional availability of information about autism throughout New Zealand. There would be benefits for families and people with autism being able to access good quality evidence based information within their regions and have consistent regional get togethers and Hui.
The integrity of the centralised specialist information service remains strong with all information requests under strict quality control and reviewed by the Professional Expert Group when required.
Richard Belton, Autism New Zealand, General Manager welcomed this further cooperation between the two organisations creating obvious benefits for the ASD community of a strong unified network of regional Information Coordination services.
These arrangements will be up and running within the next two weeks. In the meantime and at any time in the future enquiries can be made to: 0800 ASD INFO or 0800 273 463

Minnie’s presentation on Be Accessibe was truly inspiring. disappointing to see those most in need of ‘enlightenment’ were absent….a great build up for the RWC and way beyond so up to those who did attend to be vocal! and spread the Be word!
