Resident-Directed Communication Patterns in Community Homes for Persons with Disabilities.

Baker, Daniel J.; Freeman, Rachel; High, Robin

Mental Retardation, v38 n6 p489-97 Dec 2000

Patterns of staff communication with people living in three community-based residential facilities supporting persons with disabilities were examined by observing 16 staff persons for 2 hours each as they communicated with residents. Frequencies of communication were found to differ across activities and residents (communicative partners) but not staff persons or homes. (Contains references.) (DB)
