  • Clinical Psychology
  • Special Education

Background:

  • Traditional habilitation and accountability literature often overlooks cognitive and clinical factors.
  • Understanding key variables is crucial for effective support services for adults with intellectual disabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify significant input and output factors in the habilitation of mentally handicapped adults.
  • To re-evaluate the role of cognitive and clinical variables in habilitation services.

Main Methods:

  • Factor analysis was applied to data from 75 adults with mental handicaps.
  • Data included biographic, program, and background variables after a 3-year training program and community placement.

Main Results:

  • Factor analysis identified 12 input factors and 4 output factors.
  • Cognitive and clinical variables emerged as significant factors in habilitation outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • The findings suggest cognitive and clinical variables are more critical to habilitation success than traditional accountability models indicate.
  • Future research and practice in habilitation services should incorporate these factors more prominently.
