Abstract

This article deals with aspects of a six year quality of life study involving adults with developmental handicaps. Findings indicated major improvement in self-image in clients who received new individualised interventions based on consumer choice. The same degree of improvement was not observed in clients who did not receive such interventions. This improvement was supported by client self-reports, as well as by data from parents/sponsors and workers. The empowerment provided by the intervention model, and the relationships and roles that workers could play within it, appeared to be important factors in the development of self-image.
