Comisiynwyd yr astudiaeth annibynnol hon yn 2017 i werthuso’r Cynllun Gweithredu Strategol Newydd ar gyfer Anhwylderau’r Sbectrwm Awtistig a'r cynllun cyflawni perthnasol, gan ganolbwyntio’n benodol ar weithrediad ac effaith y Gwasanaeth Awtistiaeth Integredig. Cyhoeddwyd adroddiad interim, a oedd yn canolbwyntio ar ddatblygu Gwasanaeth Awtistiaeth Integredig yng Nghaerdydd a’r Fro, Cwm Taf, Gwent a Phowys, ym mis Mawrth 2018. Mae'r adroddiad nesaf, yn bennaf yn defnyddio’r data ansoddol a gafwyd mewn cyfweliadau a thrafodaethau ag oedolion awtistig (roedd gan rai ohonynt blant awtistig hefyd), aelodau o’r teulu a gofalwyr. Roedd y gwerthusiad hefyd yn ceisio nodi sut cafodd y Gwasanaethau Awtistiaeth Integredig eu sefydlu ym mhob ardal, a deall eu rhyngwyneb â gwasanaethau eraill yn y sector iechyd, gofal cymdeithasol, addysg a’r trydydd sector a’u heffaith ar y gwasanaethau hyn.
Commissioned in 2017, the aim of this independent study was to evaluate the Refreshed ASD Strategic Action Plan and accompanying delivery plan, with specific focus on the implementation and impact of the Integrated Autism Service. An interim report, focused upon the development of the IAS in Cardiff and Vale, Cwm Taf, Gwent and Powys, was published in March 2018. This forthcoming report draws primarily on qualitative data generated through interviews and discussions with autistic adults some of whom were also parents of children with autism, and family members and carers. The evaluation also sought to identify how the IASs were established in each area and understand their interface with and impact upon other services across health, social care, education and the third sector.
