Resettling Mentally Retarded Adults in the Community-Almost 4 Years Later.

Birenbaum, Arnold; Re, Mary Ann

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v83 n4 p323-29 Jan 1979

Forty-two mentally retarded adults (mean age 33 years) from three state schools were studied for almost four years, from the time they were resettled at a community residence in a large city, in order to evaluate whether changes in behavior, attitudes, and social relationships would occur as a result of deinstitutionalization.
