This book was released on 2007 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine differences in attitudes towards people with disabilities of third-year college students enrolled in health care majors and non-health care majors. BACKGROUND: A person's perception of a person with a disability may directly affect the quality of care that a person with a disability may receive. Language affects how people are perceived. Using person-first language can perpetuate positive attitudes towards individuals with disabilities. SUBJECTS: One hundred and eighty-nine third-year Springfield College students enrolled in a major served as subjects. Demographics such as age, sex, major, religion, and exposure to people with disabilities were obtained. METHODS: Surveys were distributed to third- year students. The survey contained pictures of 7 people with physical disabilities and a response sheet. Responses to each picture were limited to 2 sentences or less. A demographic questionnaire was also administered. ANALYSIS: A demographic profile of the subjects was obtained through descriptive statistics. The average age of the sample population was 20.45 years and consisted of 50.8% males and 49.2% females. Health care majors were accountable for 27.5% ofthe sample population while non-health care majors accounted for 72.5%. Level of exposure to people with disabilities of the sample population was 30.7% once or twice a week, 27% a few times a year, 24.3% three or more times a week, 13.2% twice a month, and 4.8% rarely, if ever. Answers to the survey were reviewed by two of the researchers using the Use of First Person Language Scale (UPFLS). A Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine any differences between health care majors and non-health care majors in respect to attitudes towards people with disabilities. A second Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine differences in UPFLS between genders. A Spearman-Rho test was used to evaluate correlation between exposure to people with disabilities and use of person-first language. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in UPFLS between students in health care and non-health care majors (Z score -1.855). Therefore, the authors fail to reject the null hypothesis, which stated that there is no difference in attitudes toward people with disabilities between students in health care and non-health care majors. A significant difference was found in UPFLS between females and males (Z score -2.225). No correlation was found between exposure to people with disabilities and UPFLS (r = 0.15). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: No significant difference in attitudes toward people with disabilities was found between third-year college students of health care and non-health care majors. Students at Springfield College in health care majors were found to have similar attitudes toward people with disabilities as students in non-health care majors. Female subjects had significantly more positive attitudes toward people with disabilities than males. Prior research studying contributing factors to attitudes toward people with disabilities have varying results in choice of major and gender. Research has also shown that the use of disabling language by health care workers can lead to decreased rehabilitation outcomes. Departments of health care majors at colleges and universities may prepare more sensitive, positive, and effective health care workers through the integration of education and exposure to person first language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Given the social work profession's commitment to serving individuals with disabilities and cultural competence, the promotion of favorable attitudes toward persons with disabilities within social work education is critical. This study examined the question: "what are the attitudes of undergraduate social work students at three universities toward individuals with physical disabilities as measured by responses on the Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons Scale Form B (ATDP-Form B; Yuker et al., 1960, 1966) and Interactions with Disabled Persons Scale (Gething, 1991)?" It explored the following hypotheses, that participants who: 1) have had prior positive contact with persons with physical disabilities; 2) have higher perceived levels of knowledge about issues affecting persons with physical disabilities; and 3) have had more social work classes will respond with more positive attitudes than other participants. Sociodemographic data about gender, ethnicity, country of origin, religion, and university affiliation was also collected to measure the possible impact of these characteristics on student attitudes. The primary aim is to learn more about the way undergraduate social work students generally view individuals with physical disabilities and feel about interactions with this population.

Book excerpt: "This research explored the attitudes of McGill University undergraduate students toward people with physical disabilities. First and third year students in six different faculties were further subdivided into a Human Service discipline which included Education, Social Work, and Nursing students, and a non Human Service discipline which included Management, Engineering, and Agriculture students. The effects of gender, having had previous contact with persons with a disability, and having had a course on the topic of disability on attitudes toward people with disabilities were also examined. One hundred and forty-four women and 79 men served as the subjects for this study. Subjects completed the Attitude Toward Disabled Persons Scale (ATDP) Form B, and descriptive information giving the variables under investigation (gender, faculty, etc.). The analysis of the data collected showed that there was a significant positive difference in attitudes among students following a Human Service discipline than students following a non Human Service discipline. There was a significant interaction effect between faculty and year of study with Agriculture, Engineering, and Nursing student scores increasing in their third year, and Management, Education, and Social Work student scores decreasing in their third year. No significant differences on attitudes toward people who are physically disabled were found according to faculty enrolled in, year of study, gender, previous contact with persons with disabilities, or previous course on the topic of disability." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research on attitudes towards accommodations given to university students with disabilities has examined three groups: Faculty, disabled students, and their non-disabled peers. In general, faculty members have positive attitudes about implementing accommodations as long as they do not drastically change the curriculum. Both disabled and non-disabled students had similar positive attitudes for external disabilities such as visual impairment, cerebral palsy, and brain injury but less positive attitudes towards non-physical disabilities like depression. The purpose of this study was to see if an online educational intervention could change attitudes towards accommodations of disabilities. Participants (N = 122) were divided into four groups: one read a brief educational module on depression, one read a module on Traumatic Brain Injury, one read both the depression and TBI modules, and one read a control. They were then asked to rate the helpfulness of 10 accommodations for students with disabilities on a scale of 1 to 7, 1 being extremely unhelpful and 7 being extremely helpful. They were then asked to rate the fairness of those accommodations on the same scale. There were three disabilities rated: TBI, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and depression. Results showed that there was a significant, positive main effect for fairness among those who read about depression. (F[1,121] = 4.10, p = 0.045, eta-squared = .03). This result shows that even with a modest intervention, attitudes towards accommodations can be changed. All other hypotheses failed to reach significance; however, some possible reasons for this could be the small sample size, the short length of the intervention, and high endorsements of accommodations for students with TBI.

This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many researchers have confirmed that students with disabilities engage in significantly less physical activity than their nondisabled peers in physical education class. One of the elements that influences student participation in physical education class is attitude and there is a gap in the literature with respect to investigating the attitudes of students with learning disabilities, emotional/behavioral disabilities, or attention difficulties. There is limited research on how teachers perceive and assist students to participate in physical education. This dissertation is looking specifically at enjoyment and useful attitudes of physical activity in physical education class for students with learning disabilities.
