title: Community support for families: the Huron County approach to a long-term care issue.
abstract: This article profiles a pilot project in Huron County, Ontario, which merged two separate government-sponsored programs that provide support to families with disabled children into a single program delivered through a community agency. After almost ten years in operation, the program is working very well, but certain adjustments are necessary to keep the program running smoothly.
