Smith, Gregory C.; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1995
Mothers (n=235), ages 58 to 96, caring for adult offspring with mental retardation were interviewed. Four variables influenced their stage of permanency planning: (1) use of services for offspring, (2) non-use of avoidance coping, (3) self-perception of age-related changes, and (4) help from offspring without mental retardation.
