Abstract

Parents of mentally handicapped children are increasingly concerned about the future adult needs of their aging offspring. In Ireland, where service provision for people with a mental handicap has traditionally been regarded as a moral rather than a political issue, parents are determined to call for a charter of rights for mentally handicapped adults.
