Therefore it is important for professionals to be knowledgeable about the attitudes of societal members toward these students. This text is a thorough and invaluable sourcebook on how attitudes are formed, measured, and changed. An extensive discussion about professional, peer, parental and sibling attitudes toward a class or family member, and reviewing methodologies for change are provided.

The evil prosthesis of Captain Hook, the comical speech of Porky Pig, and the bumbling antics of Mr. Magoo are all examples of images in our culture which can become the basis of negative attitudes and subliminal prejudice towards persons with disabilities. These attitudes influence and underlie discriminatory acts, resulting in negative treatment and segregation. A teacher's ability to recognize and counter such images may well determine the success of inclusion and mainstreaming programs in our schools and society. Well-researched and well-written, this book offers practical guidance as grounded in solid research to schools that are wrestling with how to mainstream children with disabilities.

A study was conducted to determine the effect of a play, a curriculum kit on disability, and a speaker confined to a wheelchair on students' attitudes toward the disabled. Subjects were 150 male and 174 female secondary school students from seven Australian schools. The play presented common myths and fallacies about the disabled and then debunked them. The curriculum kit presented factual information on disabilities and case histories of disabled persons coping with their lives. An experimental pretest and posttest design was used to determine attitudes toward the disabled. The results indicated that the play was very effective in improving nondisabled children's attitudes toward the physically disabled. The curriculum kit lessons improved the children's attitudes but not to a statistically significant extent. The speaker also has a positive but negligible effect on attitudes. In addition, the results indicated a significant interaction between the play and the curriculum kit, with the kit having reduced the effectiveness of the play. The pretest indicated that females had a more positive attitude toward the disabled than did males, while the posttest indicated that females also improved their attitudes more than the males. (HTH)
