OTARC’s recommendations draw on evidence from:
- Our four Research Program areas and accumulated clinical and professional expertise, including lived experience.
- Our embedded research to practice program at the Victorian Autism Specific Early Learning and Care Centre. We support approximately 50 Autistic toddlers and preschool aged children using an evidence-based program called the Group-Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) incorporated within the La Trobe University Community Children’s Centre.
- An OTARC NDIS ‘Conversation Session’ where we discussed the What we have heard report (held in July 2023) involving researchers, clinicians, NDIS service providers (La Trobe University Community Children’s Centre, Centre Manager and Clinical Manager), NDIS participants and NDIS applicants.
- Consultation with lived experience experts within OTARC (Autistic people, parents of Autistic people, and NDIS participants).
