Preferences for Sources of Social Support of Hispanic Male Adolescents with Mild Learning Handicaps.

Morrison, Gale M.; And Others

Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v27 n2 p132-44 Jun 1992

This study investigated social support preferences of Hispanic male junior high school students with (n=22) and without (n=11) mild learning handicaps for various life stressors. Students with handicaps were more likely to choose "nobody" and less likely to choose siblings than nonhandicapped peers. Differences between special class and resource room students were also found.
