This study examined the effect of contact by hearing students (N=70) with mainstreamed high school students with hearing impairments on hearing students' evaluations of personal qualities of speakers with three levels of speech intelligibility and their attitudes toward deafness. In general, students with contact expressed more positive evaluations than comparison students without contact on speakers with poor intelligibility. (Author/DB)
