A Multidimensional Scaling Study of Administrators' and Teachers' Perceptions of Disabilities.
Garvar, Adrienne; Schmelkin, Liora Pedhazur
Journal of Special Education, v22 n4 p463-78 Win 1989
Multidimensional scaling was utilized to assess the disability perceptions of 4 groups of educators (elementary school principals, special education administrators, regular elementary teachers, and special education teachers). Despite identified differences among the 247 educators' perceptual spaces, the groups shared some commonalities relating to physical, behavioral-emotional, perceptual, and sensory disabilities.
