This study of 91 Canadian children (ages 10-13) investigated the effects of integration, social contact, and information on the attitudes of elementary school children toward their peers with disabilities. Students in integrated classes were found to have more positive attitudes in comparison to those in nonintegrated classes. (Author/CR)
