Attitudes toward Disability and Beliefs Regarding Support for a University Student with Quadriplegia.
Gannon, P. M.; MacLean, D.
International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v19 n2 p163-69 Jun 1996
Australian college students (n=338), faculty (n=49), and administrators (n=21) completed measures of attitudes toward disabled persons and responded to a list of possible adaptations for a hypothetical college student with quadriplegia. Results indicated overwhelming support for the student's college attendance and receipt of adaptive equipment, but less support for extra tutorial assistance, easier admission to university, or leniency in academic standards.
