Respite Care--Who Uses It?
Marc, Darcey-Lynn; MacDonald, Larry
Mental Retardation, v26 n2 p93-96 Apr 1988
A survey of 124 families with mentally retarded children identified those families who did and did not use respite care services. Families who tended to use respite care were larger, made greater use of professional support services, and had children with more severe handicaps and more serious behavior problems. (Author/JDD)
