Abstract

In addition to physical placement in the community, the extent to which individuals experience personal autonomy may provide a crucial measure of the attainment of a more normalized lifestyle. Everyday choices and choice-making opportunities of 24 persons with mental retardation living in community group homes were compared to choices of 42 nonretarded adults. The adults with mental retardation had significantly fewer opportunities to make decisions on such matters as what to eat or wear, how to spend free time, and with whom to live. Results were discussed in terms of the need to operationalize meaningful improvements in the lives of persons with mental retardation that go beyond the appearance of the physical environment.
