TI  - Measurement of attitudes of trainee professionals to people with disabilities.
PG  - 255-62
AB  - The importance of measuring attitudes of trainee professionals to people with 
      disabilities was addressed. A questionnaire which included the Scale of Attitudes 
      toward Disabled Persons (SADP) and the Intellectual Disability Misconceptions 
      Scale (IDMS) was completed by first and final year tertiary students enrolled in 
      a 3-year course on intellectual disability. The attitude measures did not 
      discriminate between the two groups of students, psychometric properties were 
      poor and the factor structure of the SADP did not replicate previous findings. As 
      expected, there was some convergence between the two attitude measures, and 
      relationships to subject variables were consistent with previous research. 
      Recommendations for subsequent research were discussed.
