| Résumé : |
The community support scheme for adults with Asperger syndrome began in Birmingham, United Kingdom, in January 1996. The scheme is funded by a joint Health and Social Services grant and ran as a pilot project until January 1999. This article reports on the progress made during the first 15 months of the scheme by examining the philosophy behind the scheme and the practicalities of providing effective community support to people with a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome. Case studies have been included to illustrate support methods in practice, and all names have been changed to maintain confidentiality. Measures of progress within the first year of the scheme were evaluated through attendance rates, observation, reviews, and the comments of the clients and carers themselves. |
