Community Living Sarnia-Lambton

In 1992 Community Living Sarnia-Lambton commissioned Dr. Peter McMahon, Associate Professor of Social Work at King's College, University of Western Ontario, to help us to conduct a survey. We wanted to determine how many 'senior' families there were in Sarnia-Lambton who had a person with a developmental disability still living at home. We hoped also to determine what kind of supports these families needed that weren't already available and what their plans were for the future. http://www.communitylivingsarnia.org/senproj.php
