Special Class Placements as Labels: Effects on Children's Attitudes toward Learning Handicapped Peers.
Bak, John J.; And Others
Exceptional Children, v54 n2 p151-55 Oct 1987
Students in grades four to six (N=77) judged the capabilities of peers traditionally labeled as "learning disabled" or "educable mentally retarded" but depicted in written vignettes only as attending either a resource room or special classroom. Students in special classes were judged significantly less capable than students in resource room programs. (Author/DB)
