What Children Report and Remember: A Six-Year Follow-Up of the Effects of Social Contact between Peers with and without Severe Disabilities.

Kishi, Gloria S.; Meyer, Luanna H.

Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps, v19 n2 p277-89 Win 1994

A survey of 183 Hawaii students (ages 15-19) and interviews with a subsample of 93 students investigated subjects' memories about elementary school experiences involving peers with severe disabilities. Analysis revealed that earlier social contact resulted in more positive attitudes, higher levels of current reported social contact, and more support for full community participation. (Author/JDD)
