2. Current support available for autistic students in WA schools, including consideration of how:
a. evidence-based practices are implemented across the school system; and
b. school supports are co-ordinated with other service areas to respond to the needs of autistic students and their families.
3. Strategies in other jurisdictions that support school systems to respond to the needs of autistic students, and the applicability of those strategies to WA.
