Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 10-2 (Octobre 2009) . - p.50-56 Titre : The Stars for Life Foundation for Autism: A light in the darkness Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rhea VARDY MACPHEE, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.50-56 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Rhea Vardy MacPhee is the Program Co-ordinator for a new foundation developed to support adults on the autism spectrum. She begins by presenting some hard facts about the current state of services for this population. There are three times as many adults as children in most populations, and 50 there are three times as many adults on the autism spectrum as children. Yet often, there is more support specific to autism, more interventions and more research on services for children. This paper relates to the situation in Canada, but readers elsewhere will recognise familiar themes and short-comings in their countries too. From this pessimistic starting point, the author then gives details of the work of the Stars for Life Foundation set up specifically for adults on the autism spectrum. She gives the key principles which underpin the development of the service which readers will find helpful in considering support in their own areas and settings.
