Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act: Employer and Recruiter Attitudes toward Individuals with Disabilities.

Walters, Sharon E.; Baker, Clora Mae

Journal of Rehabilitation Administration, v20 n1 p15-23 Feb 1996

A survey of 69 employers and 31 recruiters compared attitudes of those who had prior contact with individuals with disabilities with those without prior contact. Results indicate that four variables influence acceptance of the Americans with Disabilities Act: (1) type of activity; (2) educational level; (3) number of disabled employees; and (4) attitudes.
