Abstract
Summary In an investigation of the body image of handicapped children, eight institutionalized children with spina bifida were compared with eight similarly afflicted children residing at home and attending a special day-school for handicapped children. A control group of eight normal children were matched for age and sex, as were the two handicapped groups. All Ss were within the normal range of intelligence. A make-a-person task was individually administered. The three-dimensional figures created by the Ss were duplicated in exact proportion on graph paper to facilitate measurement and to obtain pertinent data. Results indicate that the institutionalized group has a more distorted body image than that of either the group attending day-school or the normal group.
