The 1:3 staff/service recipient ratio helps to ensure that adequate supervision is available to provide for participation in meaningful activities for each service recipient . In addition, maintaining this ratio promotes increased opportunity for integration as large groups can be stigmatizing and viewed as abnormal in the community.
