The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of a leisure education program in individuals with developmental disabilities in terms of adaptive behavior and quality of life. Nine participants divided into two small groups and their families were included. A quasi-experimental design was employed to determine whether there was a program effect. The Adaptive Behavior Assessment System, the KIDSCREEN-27, and the Family Quality of Life Scale were administered before and after the intervention. There was a significant increase in social, home, and school skills as well as a better perception of quality of life in relationships with parents, social support, and school. In addition, the program affected the family’s perception of practical and emotional support. Findings provide support for the application of this leisure program to enhance quality of life outcomes. eng info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess Leisure education program Adaptive behavior Quality of life Developmental disabilities Leisure education Family quality of life Leisure education in youth with developmental disabilities: Effects on individual quality of life, adaptive behavior, and family quality of life info:eu-repo/semantics/article
