Is AIDS a Biasing Factor in Teacher Judgment?
Walker, David W.; Hulecki, Mary B.
Exceptional Children, v55 n4 p342-45 Jan 1989
Regular-education, third-grade teachers (n=91) in Indiana reviewed one of two psychological reports, identical except that one reported a diagnosis of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and one reported a diagnosis of rheumatic fever. AIDS was not found to be a biasing factor in teachers' judgments regarding special education placement. (Author/JDD)
