The negative attitudes toward people with disabilities prevailing in our society suggest the need for interventions to modify those attitudes. With this aim a program in changing attitudes towards people with disabilities in primary school children has been developed. 100 children between 7 and 10 years old took part in the study, 39 were assigned to the experimental group and 61 to the control group. Information and contact have been used as change techniques. It has also been followed up for two years and a half. During this time, activities reminders have been made. The assessment instrument used was the Scale of Attitudes toward People with Disabilities (Verdugo, Arias & Jenaro, 1994). The results obtained argue for the effectiveness of these techniques. There are statistically significant differences between pretreatment and posttreatment measures in favor of the experimental group. Also, these changes at follow up have been maintained. |
