"Peter? He Comes and Goes...": First Graders' Perspectives on a Part-Time Mainstream Student.

Schnorr, Roberta F.

Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps (JASH), v15 n4 p231-40 Win 1990

Participant observation and interviews were employed in a first grade class in which a moderately mentally retarded boy participated on a part-time basis. Findings indicated significant discrepancies between the students' definitions of what it means to be part of first grade and the teacher's efforts to include Peter and present him as a member of the class.
