This book is an evaluation of the quality of life of adults with developmental disabilities. It describes an intervention process using concepts of choice and empowerment, and measures changes in needs, performance and self-concept. Rehabilitation in the home and in the local community is seen as a practical and effective process. Implications of the findings for the education of professionals and for rehabilitation services are discussed. The authors look at the financial implications of the field model and illustrate how major changes to agency management and deployment of personnel could be effected. Finally, the authors put forward a series of detailed recommendations suggesting radical changes to the philosophy and practice of rehabilitation. "Empowerment and Developmental Handicaps" should appeal to service providers, policy makers, parents, researchers and students.
