Out-of-Home Placement of Children with Severe Handicaps: A Comparison of Approaches.

Blacher, Jan B.; And Others

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v96 n6 p607-16 May 1992

This study found that accuracy in predicting the out-of-home placement of children with severe disabilities increased little in a large cross-sectional sample (n=5,992) over a smaller semilongitudinal sample (n=141). Factors such as age, adaptive and maladaptive behavior, and ethnicity are discussed. (Author/JDD)
