Abstract

The UFTEA of Cornellà de Llobregat , a networking experience in a territory, is explained in this article. UFTEA (ASD Functional Unit) is a joint work space for professionals from existing services in a specific geographic area of Catalonia, who are involved in the direct care work of children and teenagers with ASD. Its main objective is to ensure the management of the care process for children with ASD, which includes screening, diagnosis and treatment processes, as well as periodic evaluation and proposal for improvements, if any. The UFTEA is a territorial unitary structure where the Integral Care Plan (PAI) is jointly drawn up for children and adolescents with special health, education or social needs.
