The Residential School: A Valid Choice.
Saunders, Suzanne
British Journal of Special Education, v21 n2 p64-66 Jun 1994
A survey of 35 parents of children with severe physical handicaps and severe/profound learning difficulties either attending or not attending a residential special school in Britain found that parents chose the school because of lack of local services, lack of family support, the 24-hour curriculum of the residential school, and provision of a social peer group.
