Parental Attitudes toward the Developmentally Disabled among Arab Communities in Israel: A Cross-Cultural Study.

Reiter, Shunit; And Others

International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v9 n4 p355-62 1986

Attitudes of 184 Arab families in Israel toward their developmentally disabled children were assessed. Questionnaire results indicated that, of the three religious groups represented in the sample (Christian, Muslim, and Druze), the Druze showed the most positive attitudes. Higher levels of education were found to correlate with less positive attitudes. (Author/JW)
