Mainstreaming: Reality or Myth?

B. C. Journal of Special Education, v13 n3 p277-86 1989

A study of the attitudes of 821 secondary-level students in British Columbia (Canada) found that the majority supported mainstreaming of handicapped students in their classes, females were more positive than males, older students were more positive than younger students, and physical contact with handicapped students did not automatically lead to greater acceptance.
