Service delivery patterns for adults with mild mental retardation at community mental health centers.

Results of a national survey on mental health services for adults with mild mental retardation sent to directors of psychological services at community mental health centers was discussed. In general, adults with mild mental retardation were less likely to receive the full array of available services. Individuals with mental retardation were not frequent consumers of community mental health services and received differential treatment at these Centers. Implications of these findings were discussed.
