Baby Audrey is involved in the Cub Study at CliniKids.

We thought we would share news of some fantastic achievements in our team recently.

Here’s a quick look at some of the published research to come out of CliniKids recently (June 2021 newsletter)

For Autism Month, CliniKids invited families to contribute to an "I can, I am!" strengths wall in its reception area – an idea that was wholeheartedly embraced by our little visitors and their families.

IDEA is one of the few population-based resources in the world dedicated to intellectual disability. The IDEA database contains information on all children born in Western Australia since 1983 who have been identified with having an intellectual disability. Individuals with autism spectrum disorder, both with and without intellectual disability, are also included in the database. Deidentified information is accessed from the Department of Communities WA, the WA Department of Education, and the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to create the database. IDEA can be linked to other datasets to facilitate research into the determinants, outcomes and service needs of children and adults with intellectual disability. Researchers can apply for such linked data, available in a de-identified format under approval from an ethics committee.

Researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia, working with the Autism CRC, have led the development of the National Guideline for the Assessment and Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder in Australia which was launched today.
