Variability in the Availability of Choice to Adults with Mental Retardation.
Stancliffe, Roger; Wehmeyer, Michael L.
Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation, v5 n4 p319-28 Oct 1995
Adults with mental retardation (n=392) involved in self-advocacy groups completed the Life Choices Survey. Findings indicated that this group indicated more choice opportunities than most adults with mental retardation and that total choice availability varied with level of disability and type of living arrangement but not by age or gender.
