    Sociological aspects of service provision for people with intellectual disabilities in Victoria
    Rokicki, Marta Krystyna ( 1993)
    This study examines relevant principles within the context of changing values and social structures, that underline the policy initiatives to support people with intellectual disabilities. It contains information about the system of service delivery in Victoria, its history, functions, developments, strengths and weaknesses. It investigates the effectiveness of service delivery to adults with intellectual disabilities by Adult Training Support Services (ATSS) within both the private and government sectors. Differences are drawn in the approach and understanding of normalisation and integration principles between the three selected ATSSs. The study measures the degree of success made by the implementation and outcomes of their respective programmes. This reflects the way the whole service system operates. Finally the service provision system was examined in terms of the minimum conditions necessary for a social system to function.
