The GAP journal is dedicated to promoting good practice with children and adults living with autism. Initially launched in 2000, the GAP Journal is published bi-annually in May and October. The publication is edited by highly respected academics and practitioners specialising in autism and aimed at a wide audience including people who live with the condition and their families, as well as health, education and social services professionals.  We will join the existing partners on the journal’s management group as a co-opted member. We will share our experiences as an autism service provider in order to encourage and promote the journal’s mission to publish work that reflects on, and informs good autism practice.

Ann Chivers, Chief Executive of BILD, the journal’s publisher said: “Good Autism Practice has built a strong reputation for encouraging good and innovative practice in supporting children and adults with autism and Asperger’s Syndrome."

"We've already worked with Scottish Autism on other projects, and know they will bring a huge amount of expertise and commitment to highlighting what makes for good practice in support, and to sharing the experiences of people with autism, their families and those who provide support."

Charlene Tait, Director of Development at Scottish Autism said: “The GAP Journal is respected by practitioners as a publication that is dedicated to promoting a greater understanding of autism. Given that our aims as a charity are fully aligned to theirs, we are delighted to be part of the publication’s management group where we can add real value from the on-going work we do to enrich the lives of people living with autism. We look forward to engaging with our GAP Journal colleagues, sharing our own knowledge and experiences and gaining new insights from theirs.”
