Caring for the developmentally disabled in the community
Aust Fam Physician.

Abstract
As deinstitutionalisation programmes take effect, more and more developmentally disabled people are living in the community. They are becoming patients of general practitioners who need to be aware of some of their special health problems. Primary care of disabled people presents particular challenges and rewards for the interested family doctor.
