Extended Sociometric Status of Adolescents with Mild Handicaps: A Cross-Categorical Perspective.

Sabornie, Edward J.; And Others

Exceptionality, v1 n3 p197-209 1990

The study compared adolescents with mild mental retardation, learning disabilities, behavioral disorders, and no known handicaps using measures of sociometric status, social impact, and social preference. Not all students with mild handicaps were similar in social acceptance, rejection, and preference. Learning-disabled students were remarkably similar to nonhandicapped peers. (Author/JDD)
