A study involving 15 adults with disabilities found, generally, that their elementary school experiences were negative. Those with physical disabilities experienced social isolation and unchallenging academic environments. Those with invisible disabilities felt challenged to learn in their educational environment. Negative experiences were often ameliorated by someone in the education system. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
