Developmentally Disabled Persons in Family Settings: Report No. 2.
Cox, Wendy M.; Wilson, Wendell L.
The second in a series of three reports, this document presents findings of clients of Washington's Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), ages 22-29, who were living with their families at age 18 but now live elsewhere (group B). Findings are based on telephone interviews with families of 224 DDD clients and analysis of DDD records. The following topics are addressed: (1) characteristics and activities of clients and their families during the year before the clients moved from home; (2) differences between group B Ss and group A Ss (who remained at home); (3) ways in which families made the decision for the move; and (4) parents' perceptions of the clients' current circumstances and future plans. A description of methodology and a set of data tables are appended. (CL)
