Attitudes on Inclusion of a Player with Disabilities in a Regular Softball League.

Block, Martin E.; Malloy, Mike

Mental Retardation, v36 n2 p137-44 Apr 1998

A study examined the attitudes of 88 girls (ages 10-12) without disabilities, parents, and coaches toward the inclusion of a child with a disability in a regular fast-pitch softball league. Players and parents had a favorable attitude toward inclusion and modifying game rules. Coaches were undecided about inclusion and rule modifications. (Author/CR)
