Movement of Developmentally Disabled Individuals among out-of-Home Residential Facilities.

Heal, Laird W.; And Others

Research in Developmental Disabilities, v10 n3 p295-313 1989

The movements of 2,271 residents of public and community residential facilities for the developmentally disabled were analyzed. In a 1-year period, 8.5 percent of the residents moved, and most moves featured greater integration into the community. Among moved subjects, 3 dimensions accounted for 62 percent of placement status variance: ability, age, and autonomy. (Author/PB)
