China unveils 5-year plan for better rehab, schooling for autistic children
China has launched a five-year action plan to strengthen care services for children with autism and solve the “urgent, difficult and anxious” problems faced by their families when seeking support.
The Autism Children Care Promotion Action plan was jointly released last week by the China Disabled Persons’ Federation, the Ministry of Education, and top public health bodies, with a pledge to increase rehabilitation services.
According to the notice announcing the plan, some regions and departments have achieved “remarkable results” in recent years to improve screening and diagnosis, as well as rehabilitation and education levels, but there were still “outstanding difficulties and problems”.
