  • Title: The role of home care service in family care of developmentally disabled children: an exploratory study.
    Author: Smith MJ, Caro FG, McKaig K.
    Journal: Home Health Care Serv Q; 1988; 9(1):117-34. PubMed ID: 10315769.
    Abstract:
    Recent concern about the needs of developmentally disabled children living at home has led to increased attention to family support programs. Home care service is one family support option which should be viewed as a basic fundamental support strategy. An exploratory study of a small number of families caring for developmentally disabled children in New York City indicates that publicly-funded home care produces a great number of benefits for this special population.
