    A project in Exeter has tried to increase the contribution of the paediatric department of a district general hospital to the long-term care, support, and treatment of handicapped children and their families. They include an infant care unit, day units for handicapped children, and holiday projects, and are based on close links with the educational and social services. The availability of such a family support unit may diminish the strain on the families of handicapped children and help them to maintain normal family and social relationships.

    Because a national day care program will probably be instituted soon, the major issues should be debated before policies are set. Thus some program models are analyzed and then related to the needs of various consumer groups. Also included are suggestions about how to organize programs so that consumers, rather than purveyers of hypothetically ideal models, will benefit.
