Assess the results of the major policy changes that have recently taken place to implement the integration of developmentally disabled people into the community. Addresses the issue of the quality of life for those moving from hospital to group homes and to community placement. Asks whether group homes are doing what they originally set out to do, or whether, due to financial constraints and or current political policy, they are creating a form of 'micro-institutionalisation'.
