This clinical standard supports the vision of universal access whereby everyone receives quality health services that meet their specific needs.

The clinical standard is designed to be used by all those involved in improving health outcomes and quality of life, including eating, speaking and socialising, for autistic children and young people, and those with a learning disability in England.

It is accompanied by a supporting package of tools, resources, and modules to support the delivery of the oral healthcare assessment (either face to face or remote) and to support teams in the development of complementary tailored mouthcare plans.
