  • Title: Social ecology of supervised communal facilities for mentally disabled adults. V. Residence as a predictor of social and work adjustment.
    Author: Berkson G.
    Journal: Am J Ment Defic; 1981 Jul; 86(1):39-42. PubMed ID: 7270586.
    Abstract:
    Matched groups of mildly retarded people who lived with their families, independently, or in a sheltered-care home were compared with respect to various measures of work performance and social behavior in sheltered workshops. Differences between the groups were negligible. The results suggest that residential placement by itself does not strongly correlate with productivity or sociability.
