Abstract
CUESTA GOMEZ, José L and MANZONE, Luisa A. Argentine adaptation of the Quality of Life Indicators guide for organizations that support people with autistic spectrum disorders. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2018, vol.116, n.2, pp.e257-e266. ISSN 0325-0075. http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2018.e257.
This article describes the adaptation process of the Quality of Life Indicators guide for organizations that support people with autistic spectrum disorders which has taken place in Argentina (Cuesta, J. L., 2009) using the Delphi method, and with the participation of a group of autism-related experts from different fields and domestic institutions. The result is an instrument based on a quality-of-life model which is adjusted to the Argentine setting, helps planning and assessing centers and programs for people with autistic spectrum disorders, and responds to the increasing number of specific services which cover the needs of this population.
