In Japan, the interest in pervasive developmental disorder (PDD)has been growing recently.However,there is no study that have examined the efficacy of a support program for PDD patients in adolescence. Many cases of social withdrawal at Sapporo Mental Health Welfare Center have been diagnosed as PDD in adolescence. The Center has established three groups, A, B, and C, for these cases, and carries out therapeutic intervention through occupational therapy and daycare. We carried out a clinical study of 30 patients who participated in the three groups from april 2009 to march 20 I 0, and observed their participation in the groups. Here we present the patients' clinical features and the support activities of each group, and report on practical activities for PDD patients in adolescence in Sapporo. Results showed the GAF scales of patients improved and outcome research also changed positively. Therefore, this support program appears to be effective.
