Abstract
Disabled students are being integrated into the mainstream school setting. Students often reject their disabled peers because of absence of the appropriate knowledge and awareness about disabilities. This study is a pilot one and the aim is the investigation of typical students’ concepts of disabilities. Eight-five, 9-11 years old, students participate. The results reveal that typical students lack the appropriate knowledge and the common thought to describe a person with disability is physical disability. There are misconceptions about mental retardation and Down syndrome and almost none of them understand what “autism” means.
