There is a large body of research that suggests home, school, and community factors are related to child quality of life ratings, yet it remains unclear how these environmental factors and disabling conditions interact to affect the quality of life ratings of children with different disabling conditions. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between home, school, and community factors and the quality of life of children and adolescents with different disabling conditions. It is hypothesized that: (1) Home characteristics (family characteristics and family quality of life), school characteristics (school climate and student activity difficulties), and community characteristics, and available resources predict caregivers' ratings of quality of life for children and adolescents with disabling conditions. (2) Caregivers' ratings of child and adolescent quality of life will differ by family income, parent level of education, or location of residence? (3) Caregivers' ratings of child and adolescent quality of life will differ by type and severity of child disabling condition?

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between home, school, and community factors and the quality of life of children and adolescents with different disabling conditions.

520 $a Data on approximately 93 caregiver-child pairs drawn from extant data were analyzed for this study. The 93 child participants in the sample included 48 boys and 45 girls between birth and 23 years of age. The children and youth included in the study were developmentally disabled, deaf/hearing impaired, or suffered from a renal insufficiency. Results indicated that children and adolescents who lived in families with higher family quality of life ratings and communities with more resources were given higher quality of life ratings by their caregivers. Younger children and those who lived in more supportive and cohesive families were more likely to receive higher quality of life ratings from their caregivers. Further, the caregivers' quality of life ratings did not differ by family income, parent level of education, or location of residence. In addition, caregivers' ratings of child quality of life did not differ by the child's disabling condition or the severity of the disabling condition. Findings, limitations, implications and directions for future research are discussed.
