Children and Youth Services Review, 2024, vol. 161, issue C

Abstract: Youth with disabilities who accumulate a history of residential care face additional challenges transitioning to an independent life out of care. They usually do not receive the same family support as their non-institutionalized peers, experiencing multiple adversities that increase the risk of adverse outcomes in their adult lives.
