On Display: Your Child Is Being Humiliated.

Blumberg, Lisa

Exceptional Parent, v21 n7 p25-30 Oct-Nov 1991

The practice of requiring that children with disabilities undergo public medical examinations attended by numerous professional and student personnel is challenged. These discriminatory practices are attributed to uninformed attitudes of members of the medical establishment, and the implications for patients' quality of life are noted. (JDD)
