Quality of life of 76 school-age children with disabilities receiving education services in public schools was compared to that of 64 typical students enrolled in grades K-12. Scores of students with disabilities were lower on all scales of the Quality of Student Life Questionnaire, particularly on satisfaction, well-being, and social belonging. (Contains references.)
