New Findings Reported from Deakin University Describe Advances in Developmental Disabilities (Nature-Based Interventions for Adults with Developmental Disabilities: A Scoping Review Centering Autistic Adults).

A recent scoping review conducted by researchers at Deakin University in Australia explored the use of nature-based interventions (NBIs) for autistic adults with developmental disabilities. The study found that NBIs, which involve outdoor environments and activities, have the potential to address the mental health and quality of life challenges faced by autistic adults. However, the review also identified limitations and gaps in the existing literature, highlighting the need for further research specifically focused on autism. The findings suggest that NBIs could be a promising avenue for supporting the well-being and employment outcomes of autistic adults. [Extracted from the article]
