A conceptual model for care in developmental disability services.
The aim of this paper is to develop a personal conceptual framework with which to examine the nature of care for people with developmental disabilities in group homes. It examines the nature of care and its corollary self-care, both in general terms as well as those specific to the field of developmental disability. It also analyses the nature of nursing and its relationship to the care and training of people with developmental disabilities. From this, a conceptual framework is constructed based upon the dynamics of care which stem from the personal experience of developmental disability.
