This article presents a situational analysis of intersectoral care for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Kazakhstan. The study analyzed legal documents from the healthcare, education, and social service sectors spanning 2017 to 2023. It focuses on recent developments in providing comprehensive care for children with ASD, examining approaches, challenges in implementing these regulations, and assessing potential benefits for patients. The results were deliberated by the project team, which includes parents of children with ASD and specialists from the inclusive services field. The research found that recent legal changes have shifted from a medical to a socio-pedagogical model, concentrating on creating conditions for the development of children with special educational needs. Notable initiatives and improvements in health regulations concerning ASD have been observed. The analysis also identified some challenges and opportunities for enhancing the intersectoral care system for children with ASD in Kazakhstan.
