A Shift to the Positive: An Effective Programme for Changing Pre-service Teachers' Attitudes toward the Disabled.

Leyser, Yona; Abrams, Peter D.

Educational Review, v35 n1 p35-43 Feb 1983

Two groups of elementary education majors were studied: one with training in mainstreaming and one without. For comparison, a group of special education majors were included. Findings indicated that the training was effective in improving the attitudes of the first group toward the disabled and their integration into the classroom. (Author/SK)
