The second is a draft work plan for 2019-20.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p>The Annual Report provides a comprehensive account of the work of the National Autism Team, together with that of the 7 Integrated Autism Services (IASs) and the Local Authority Autism Leads across Wales. Chapters have been presented in the report of key workstreams and the case studies breathe life into the work of the team and more significantly, of the Autism Leads across Wales and the Integrated Autism Services. Looking forward, the Work Plan is an ambitious plan which builds on the foundations of the work in 2018-19. Five core work streams are identified and some of them will not be completed in one year. Some activities are a consolidation of last year\u2019s work and some activities have begun this year. We are confident though that they reflect what our partners and stakeholders have told us needs to get done.<\/p>\n<p>We are particularly grateful to those colleagues and stakeholders across Wales who have been working with us to deliver the outcomes captured in the Annual Report and we look forward to working with them in the coming months to continue to increase awareness and understanding of autism and support individuals and their families and carers.<\/p>\n<p>Click here to view the report:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/neurodivergencewales.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/National-Autism-Team_Annual-Report_2018-19_eng.pdf\">National Autism Team &#8211; Annual Report 2018-19 &gt;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: var(--text-color); font-size: 1rem;\">Each year we develop clear work plans.
