✦ Synopsis

Support for families of children with autism spectrum disorders continues to be important, but formal support groups may not fit every need. The authors describe Family Fun Days, a program that paired leisure activities with opportunities for support. There was an increase in the number of participants over traditional support meetings, communication, and knowledge.
