Effective autism support requires seamless integration of multiple services.

The 3 October 2024 removal of neurofeedback funding breaks crucial links in coordinated care networks. When one effective treatment component disappears, it affects the entire chain of support services working together for optimal outcomes. This disruption undermines the principle of integrated care that underlies effective autism support.

Coordinated care depends on maintaining all essential components.

Neurofeedback often served as a foundational therapy that enhanced the effectiveness of other interventions. Its removal forces reorganisation of entire treatment plans, disrupting carefully balanced combinations of support services.

Each broken link weakens the entire support chain.

The loss of one effective treatment option creates ripple effects throughout integrated care plans. Services that worked in harmony with neurofeedback must be restructured, often with less optimal results.

We must restore complete care pathways.

Reinstating neurofeedback funding isn’t just about one treatment—it’s about maintaining the integrity of integrated care approaches that provide comprehensive autism support.
