Petrusic, Judith; Celotta, Beverly
School Counselor, v33 n1 p38-46 Sep 1985
Examined the nature of the questions elementary aged children (N=81) asked about a classmate with disabilities. Results indicated that older children asked more questions, however, all children asked disability related questions. Younger children were more concrete, whereas older children were more abstract. Prompts yielded greater numbers of questions about disabilities, particularly among third grade students. (BL)
