Eliason, Stephen L.

Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v33 n2 p162-67 Jun 1998

A study of 2560 individuals with developmental disabilities found that individuals residing in community settings experience greater social integration into the community than those in institutional settings; however, social integration was found to be more strongly related to consumer satisfaction in institutional settings than in community settings.
