Abstract
The belief that intellectually handicapped sheltered workshop trainees who are hospital residents have poorer levels of adaptive social behaviour than those living in other settings was tested. The adaptive social behaviour of three groups of intellectually handicapped adults working at an IHC workshop was assessed, and any difference that occurred as a possible function of their living in an institution, in their own homes or in IHC homes was noted. Whilst some methodological problems exist, the results suggest that generally no marked differences in adaptive social behaviour across the three groups occurred. These results are encouraging to those working in institutional settings.
