Hamre-Nietupski, Susan; And Others
Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v29 n2 p102-17 Jun 1994
This survey found that regular education teachers (n=312) felt that friendships between students with and without disabilities are possible, should be facilitated by adults, and are beneficial to all students. The survey also identified educational settings in which friendship, functional life skill, and academic skill development were most likely to occur and explored strategies for facilitating friendships.
