Spreat, Scott; Conroy, James W.

Indices of family contact were reviewed across four cohorts of persons with mental retardation (n=151) who were transferred from a large public institution to small supported living arrangements. Family contact increased subsequent to community placement and these increased levels of contact were maintained for as long as four years. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
