Choice of Priority Area by State Developmental Disabilities Councils: Child Development as a Case Example.

Farel, Anita M.

Mental Retardation, v26 n3 p155-59 Jun 1988

State plans (1984-86) were analyzed to see how the choice of child development as a priority service area was correlated with sociodemographic, health status, service program variables, and developmental disability fund allocation. Results provided no evidence that the allocation of resources to child development reflects states' needs. (DB)
