Preschool Children's Conceptions of Disabilities: The Salience of Disability in Children's Ideas about Others.
Diamond, Karen E.
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v16 n4 p458-75 Win 1996
Interviews with 46 nondisabled children (ages 3 to 6) in inclusive programs found that most children were aware of physical disability, half the children were aware of sensory disabilities, but no children expressed an awareness of Down syndrome. Children were most sensitive to effects of a physical disability on a child's motor performance. (DB)
