Families fought to change things in the 1950s and 1960s
They organised seaside holidays
They set up services like residential homes and nurseries
They raised money through organising events like pram races
They offered one another mutual support
They provided a social life for their sons and daughters
Gradually from the late 1960s local authorities took over running their local services
By the 1990s all local authorities provided some residential places for adults.
