The
Western Australian Autism Diagnosticians' Forum (WAADF) meets quarterly
to discuss standards, process, and clinical issues in the assessment
and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders in WA.
Members
include clinicians across the disciplines of speech
pathology, paediatrics, psychiatry, social work, psychology
and occupational therapy. Members work in the Health Department, Disability Services
Commission and in private practice.
The
Forum aims to inform practitioners of new developments in the
assessment and diagnostic process, establish standards for consistent
practice across WA, facilitate interpretation of diagnostic criteria,
inform practitioners of service delivery and research developments, and
provide opportunity for case discussion. The Forum also aims to help make the assessment process easily accessible to families.
For information about the Western Australian Autism Diagnosticians' Forum please contact either Chairperson Kate Smith or Secretary Wendy Marshall.
