Download or read book Everybody Belongs written by Arthur Shapiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evil prosthesis of Captain Hook, the comical speech of Porky Pig, and the bumbling antics of Mr. Magoo are all examples of images in our culture which can become the basis of negative attitudes and subliminal prejudice towards persons with disabilities. These attitudes influence and underlie discriminatory acts, resulting in negative treatment and segregation. A teacher's ability to recognize and counter such images may well determine the success of inclusion and mainstreaming programs in our schools and society. Well-researched and well-written, this book offers practical guidance as grounded in solid research to schools that are wrestling with how to mainstream children with disabilities.

Book Changing Children s Attitudes Toward the Physically Disabled

Download or read book Changing Children s Attitudes Toward the Physically Disabled written by William S. McKerracher and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was conducted to determine the effect of a play, a curriculum kit on disability, and a speaker confined to a wheelchair on students' attitudes toward the disabled. Subjects were 150 male and 174 female secondary school students from seven Australian schools. The play presented common myths and fallacies about the disabled and then debunked them. The curriculum kit presented factual information on disabilities and case histories of disabled persons coping with their lives. An experimental pretest and posttest design was used to determine attitudes toward the disabled. The results indicated that the play was very effective in improving nondisabled children's attitudes toward the physically disabled. The curriculum kit lessons improved the children's attitudes but not to a statistically significant extent. The speaker also has a positive but negligible effect on attitudes. In addition, the results indicated a significant interaction between the play and the curriculum kit, with the kit having reduced the effectiveness of the play. The pretest indicated that females had a more positive attitude toward the disabled than did males, while the posttest indicated that females also improved their attitudes more than the males. (HTH)

Book Ableism  The Causes and Consequences of Disability Prejudice

Download or read book Ableism The Causes and Consequences of Disability Prejudice written by Michelle R. Nario-Redmond and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive volume to integrate social-scientific literature on the origins and manifestations of prejudice against disabled people Ableism, prejudice against disabled people stereotyped as incompetent and dependent, can elicit a range of reactions that include fear, contempt, pity, and inspiration. Current literature—often narrowly focused on a specific aspect of the subject or limited in scope to psychoanalytic tradition—fails to examine the many origins and manifestations of ableism. Filling a significant gap in the field, Ableism: The Causes and Consequences of Disability Prejudice is the first work to synthesize classic and contemporary studies on the evolutionary, ideological, and cognitive-emotional sources of ableism. This comprehensive volume examines new manifestations of ableism, summarizes the state of research on disability prejudice, and explores real-world personal accounts and interventions to illustrate the various forms and impacts of ableism. This important contribution to the field combines evidence from multiple theoretical perspectives, including published and unpublished work from both disabled and nondisabled constituents, on the causes, consequences, and elimination of disability prejudice. Each chapter places findings in the context of contemporary theories—identifying methodological limits and suggesting alternative interpretations. Topics include the evolutionary and existential origins of disability prejudice, cultural and impairment-specific stereotypes, interventions to reduce prejudice, and how to effect social change through collective action and advocacy. Adopting a holistic approach to the study of disability prejudice, this accessibly-written volume: Provides an inclusive, up-to-date exploration of the origins and expressions of ableism Addresses how to resist ableist practices, prioritize accessible policies, and create more equitable social relations with pages earmarked for activists and allies Focuses on interpersonal and intergroup analysis from a social-psychological perspective Integrates research from multiple disciplines to illustrate critical cognitive, affective and behavioral mechanisms and manifestations of ableism Suggests future research directions based on topics covered in each chapter Ableism: The Causes and Consequences of Disability Prejudice is an important resource for social, community and rehabilitation psychologists, scholars and researchers of disability studies, and students, activists, and academics across political, sociological, and humanistic disciplines.
