Career paths through mental retardation services: an epidemiological perspective.

S A Richardson, H Koller, M Katz

    Applied Research in Mental Retardation
    |January 1, 1984

    Summary

    This study tracked children with mental retardation, finding significant service gaps in young adulthood. Many individuals with intellectual disabilities require ongoing support but do not receive it.

    Area of Science:

    • * Developmental Psychology
    • * Public Health
    • * Epidemiology

    Background:

    • * Understanding the long-term needs of individuals with mental retardation is crucial for effective public health planning.
    • * Previous research has not fully elucidated the service pathways and outcomes for this population into young adulthood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • * To determine the age-specific prevalence of mental retardation in a defined population.
    • * To describe the service utilization patterns of individuals with mental retardation from childhood to young adulthood.
    • * To identify the associated disabilities and ongoing needs of this population.

    Main Methods:

    • * A longitudinal study followed children administratively defined as mentally retarded, born within a specific five-year period in a British city.

  • * Data collection included age-specific prevalence rates, descriptions of services used, and associated disabilities.
  • * Analysis focused on service pathways and needs in young adulthood.

    • Main Results:

    • * Age-specific prevalence rates for mental retardation ranged from 2.5/1000 at age 5 to 14.7/1000 at age 11.
    • * Nearly three-quarters of individuals who attended special schools for the educable mentally retarded received no services in young adulthood.
    • * Associated disabilities varied significantly among those receiving services, highlighting complex needs in adulthood.

    Conclusions:

    • * Significant gaps exist in service provision for individuals with mental retardation transitioning into young adulthood.
    • * Epidemiological data on prevalence and service needs are essential for planning and resource allocation.
    • * The study underscores the multifaceted challenges faced by individuals with intellectual disabilities requiring continued support.
