The Attitudes of Teachers in Scotland to the Integration of Children with Autism into Mainstream Schools.

McGregor, Evelyn; Campbell, Elaine

Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, v5 n2 p189-207 Jun 2001

A survey of 23 specialist and 49 mainstream Scottish teachers, 22 with experience of autism, 27 without, investigated attitudes towards inclusion. A minority of mainstream respondents believed children with autism should be integrated where possible. Mainstream teachers with experience of autism showed more confidence. Specialist teachers were more positive. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
