Housing Facilities

455 physically disabled persons were surveyed regarding their attitudes toward moving to housing facilities designed to give more independence to the disabled. While the majority were satisfied with their present living arrangements, one-third (134) of the total group expressed a desire to move to such a facility. Those willing to move were younger, had more severe disabilities and were more dependent upon others for daily needs. They were more often city dwellers who had lived in their present homes for a shorter period of time than those not willing to move.

Perception Of Self

This paper reviews the literature on attitudes toward the disabled as manifested by both the disabled and the nondisabled, and describes the three most commonly used methods of effecting attitude change. The literature review provides a basis for a proposed implication for counseling disabled persons. The counseling process is examined in terms of the perception of self as the key variable, how this variable is influenced by the attitudes disabled individuals hold of themselves, and the interaction of this with the attitudes that others hold towards them.
