Abstract

Background: While Aboriginal Australians are known to be disproportionately affected by intellectual disabilities (ID) and/or autism spectrum disorders (developmental disabilities), true prevalences among Aboriginal children are unclear, with evidence of delayed and missed diagnoses and barriers to services. This study estimated these prevalences and disability service use among WA Aboriginal children.
