Brief Report: Professional Perceptions of Children with Developmental Difficulties: The Influence of Race and Socioeconomic Status.

Cuccaro, Michael L.; And Others

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v26 n4 p461-69 Aug 1996

School-based speech pathologists, school psychologists, and child psychiatrists (n=185) were surveyed to examine the role of sociocultural variables on clinicians' impressions of children with autism and related developmental disorders. Professional perceptions of children in hypothetical vignettes varied as a function of both practitioner's discipline and child's socioeconomic status. (PB)
