Barlow, Jillian; Kirby, Neil

Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, v17 n1 p7-23 1991

Interviews with young adults (n=31) with intellectual disabilities living in either community or residential facilities in Australia found those living in an institution were more satisfied with their social life whereas those living in the community were more satisfied with their autonomy. Both groups were positive about their current placement. (Author/DB)
