Over the past five years, Jane Baker has seen her vision of a community-based, parent-run, specialist facility for young people with Asperger syndrome and their families become a reality. The 4 us Model has four components: a parent support group, a youth group, a sibling group and a social communication skills group. Practical issues around funding and organisation are discussed, illustrated by feedback from participants.
