The Personal Assistance Dilemma for People with Disabilities Living in Rural Areas.
Nosek, Margaret A.
Rural Special Education Quarterly, v11 n1 p36-40 1992

Disabled persons in rural areas rely heavily on family members and face overwhelming locational, financial, and attitudinal barriers to independent living. (SV)
