The structure of habilitation.
Biographic, program and background variables traditionally employed in the habilitation program and accountability literature were assembled for 75 mentally handicapped adults who had completed a three year comprehensive program of training and up to three years of subsequent community placement. Factor analysis treatment yielded 12 input and 4 output factors, the nature of which suggests a greater role for cognitive and clinical variables in the overall structure of habilitation than has been supported by the habilitation services accountability literature to date.
