Abstract
A non-equivalent control group design was used to investigate the effectiveness of four simulation experiences in modifying the attitudes of 63 students in Grade 5 towards their handicapped peers. Experience in maneuvering a wheelchair was the only simulation which significantly increased attitudes, as measured by a social distance checklist, towards persons having a handicap.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
