Feldman, David; And Others

Behavioral Disorders, v8 n3 p191-98 May 1983

The study investigated whether 60 preservice and inservice, regular and special educators' perceptions of the emotionally disturbed/behaviorally disordered (ED/BD) would be influenced within a multidimensional framework by differentially labeling the target group. Among results were that the ED/BD categorical label was a significant factor in the mainstreaming potential. (Author/MC)
