Group homes for the developmentally disabled :

Abstract

The staff of nine group homes volunteered to participate in this study. Although they shall remain anonymous to respect the privacy of their residents, we offer our sincere appreciation to all the staff involved in supplying the data and to the administrators who allowed the group homes to participate. V7ithout the cooperation and patience of these individuals, this investigation would not have been possible. Thanks also to Jennifer Gagnon, Barbara Stanton, and James Cole whose assistance in data reduction was invaluable in the preparation of this report. And lastly, thanks to Kim Leaman and Bonnie Matteson for their secretarial support. iii
