Improving Children's Attitudes toward Blind Peers.

Siperstein, Gary N.; Bak, John J.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v74 n4 p132-35 Apr 1980

The effects of a classroom program designed to improve 109 fifth- and sixth-grade students' attitudes toward blind peers are examined. The results indicated that children who received the lessons had better feelings about blind children but were less inclined to engage in activities with them than those who received no lessons.
