Visually Impaired Pupils in Mainstream Schools in Israel: Quality of Life and Other Associated Factors
Hess, Itay
British Journal of Visual Impairment, v28 n1 p19-33 2010
Sixty-three visually impaired pupils from 40 different schools in Israel and their form teachers filled in questionnaires assessing quality of life. In addition, a total of 200 teachers were asked to fill in questionnaires on school climate and attitudes towards inclusion. Findings indicated that positive climate and positive attitudes correlated with high compatibility between pupils' and teachers' reports. Pupils attending schools characterized by a positive school environment (climate and attitudes) reported that they were not stigmatized by others. (Contains 3 tables and 1 figure.)
