SummaryThis pilot study of the value and impact of holidays at home for mentally retarded children in residential care suggests the following: the predominant attitude of the parents to the holiday was positive; the value of the holiday was to reunite the family; the differences in attitudes of family and friends may depend on how socially disruptive the child is and how able the child is to relate to others, Disturbed children are more likely to be returned early, which suggests that preparation for this needs to be made in discussing the holiday with the parents. For many parents the holiday reaffirms that they are a family and that for this family residential care of the child with mental retardation is a wise course.Contrary to experiences elsewhere and the stereotypes the attitudes of the families are positive. |
