Assessing Levels of Personal Autonomy among Israeli Adults with Intellectual Disabilities Living in Group Homes and Apartment Settings.
Schwartz, Chaya
Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, v20 n1 p41-50 1995
Israeli adults (n=52) with intellectual disabilities who resided in community apartments were found to be more independent and to experience more choice-making opportunities than group home residents (n=68). The groups did not differ in age, gender, or level of intellectual disability, suggesting that the variation between groups is probably traceable to the type of residential facility. (JDD)
