Normalisation in Practice - Residential Care for Children With a Profound Mental Handicap

First published in 1990, this book was the first informed study to focus on care within the voluntary sector. Written with the child in mind, it sensitively explores the administration, strategy, and problems facing carers in children's homes, at that time. Centring on small, community-based facilities, the authors discuss the processes involved in setting up and running such facilities.
