Deinstitutionalization of People with Developmental Disability.

Molony, Helen; Taplin, John

Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, v14 n2 p109-22 1988

Studies of deinstitutionalization for individuals with developmental disabilities show positive effects on skills, behavior, activity level, social interaction, and quality of life. Effects are clearest in adaptive behavior. Outcomes for individuals with severe or multiple disabilities are less positive. Implications for Australian policy are discussed. (MSE)
