News & Events

The language we use shifts over time and the words we use are important. At CliniKids, we are committed to using language that is neuroaffirming and preferred by the autistic community.

Research

Aotearoa New Zealand does not provide publicly-funded intensive autism support. While parent-mediated supports are promising, children and families may also benefit from direct clinician support. We tested the efficacy of a low-intensity programme involving parent- and clinician-delivered support for autistic children.

One of the unique aspects of CliniKids is the integration of clinical services with cutting-edge research. Our exceptional team of researchers work in collaboration with our clinicians to give the community access to the world's best evidence-based therapies.

Our researchers have published many papers in world-leading paediatric autism and developmental delay journals. Browse their most recently published work here.
