“…Thomas (1978) argues that the self is a social phenomenon. Bender (1981) claims that 'many individuals-including the families and employers of disabled persons, rehabilitation professionals and handicapped people themselves-hold negative expectations toward the disabled': the danger is that those with physical disability will themselves absorb these negative views. Research has shown that some people with physical disabilities had low levels of self-esteem: Richardson et al (1964) reported that disabled people described themselves in more negative terms than able-bodied controls, and Anderson and Clarke (1982) found that 'In general, the handicapped group presented frequently as lacking in selfconfidence, having low self-esteem, and worrying about their handicaps and lack of skills, and in consequence very often showing signs of real misery and depression'.…”

“…Successful integration of disabled children is thought to be greatly influenced by the attitudes of able-bodied children (Bender 1980). There is considerable evidence that disabled children are perceived in negative and prejudiced ways by their non-handicapped peers (Johnsen 1950, Goodman et al 1972, Gottlieb and Budoff 1973, Gottlieb 1974, Gottlieb et al 1974, and that integration may even increase prejudice and the stereotyping and rejection of handicapped children.…”

“…Children's fears and misconceptions about disabled peers often prevent them them from forming friendly relationships. As Bender (1980) suggests, these poor attitudes are a major impediment to successful integration of the disabled child. Recognition of this has led to increased interest in attempting to improve children's attitudes.…”
