摘要：

In the current study we examined the impact of family support programmes for adults with developmental disabilities. Results of the study indicated that participants had fewer unmet needs and used more services than the control group. Participant caregivers were more satisfied with the services their relative received, experienced gl-eater self-efficacy, and were less likely to desire an out-of-home placement than the control group. Participants with developmental disabilities experienced increases in community integration and monthly wage.
