Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability, v24 n1 p7-26 Mar 1999

A study investigated the characteristics of the support networks of 25 Australian mothers with intellectual disabilities. Three types of support networks were found based on mothers' living arrangements: mothers living in a parent/parent-figure household, mothers living alone with their children, and mothers living with a partner in their own household.
