Increasing Social Acceptance: Mentally Retarded Students Tutoring Regular Class Peers.
Osguthorpe, Russell T.; And Others
Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, v20 n4 p235-40 Dec 1985
The study measured social acceptance experienced by fourth through sixth-grade mentally retarded students who acted as tutors of their regular class peers. Results showed that tutors interacted with regular class peers more often than handicapped non-tutors and suggested that handicapped students would make more personal/social progress with regular tutoring assignments.
