Research on job assistance and psychiatric rehabilitation in high-functioning adults with pervasive developmental disorders

在第一次访问时，只有10%的患有广泛性发育障碍的高功能成年人在公共场合工作并过着独立的生活。在支持下，这一比例增长到了50%。对结果预测因素的研究表明，早期筛查、教育支持、医疗保健和工作援助是重要的贡献者。因此，医疗、教育和福利必须相互配合，才能支持患者。针对疾病的计划和标准的精神康复计划相结合，显示出更高的有效性。

At the first visit, there were only 10% of high-functioning adults with pervasive developmental disorder working in public and leading an independent life. With the support, the percentage grew up to 50%. The study of outcome predictors shows that early screening, educational support, medical care, and job assistance are significant contributors. Therefore, medical care, education, and welfare must cooperate in order to support the patients. A combination of a disease-specific program and a standard psychiatric rehabilitation program shows even higher effectiveness.
