Abstract

In this study we examine the effectiveness of an intervention program to influence attitudes of elementary school students towards peers with intellectual, physical and severe physical and intellectual disabilities. A quasi-experimental longitudinal study was designed with an experimental group and a control group, both comprising two rural schools. An intervention program was developed for kindergarten (n experimental = 22, n control = 31) and elementary school students without disabilities (n experimental = 91, n control = 127) (age range 4–12 years old). This intervention consisted of a 3 weeks education project comprising six lessons about disabilities. The Acceptance Scale for Kindergarten-revised and the Attitude Survey to Inclusive Education were used to measure attitudes at three moments: prior to the start of the intervention, after the intervention and 1 year later. The outcomes of the multilevel analysis showed positive, immediate effects on attitudes of kindergarten students, but limited effects on elementary school students’ attitudes.

1
It is very common two grades are combined into one class due to the small number of students in rural districts of the Netherlands.
 
2
Because the schools preferred a school-wide intervention, we implemented the intervention in all grades, including first grade. However, due to the young age of these students we did not assessed their attitudes.
