The Effects of the Tripartite Intervention on Attitudes Toward Disability

The proposed research project aims to understand junior students’ (grades 4-6) attitudes towards disability. The students are part of an inclusive school board in Ontario. The research will be done through the use of three surveys, two worksheets, and an intervention utilizing parasport athletes. Surveys and worksheets will be given to students before and after the intervention and again at the end of the school year to determine if the intervention made an impact on their attitudes towards disability. Parasport Ontario has a specific goal to gain more exposure to local school boards, thus they will benefit from this partnership. CTC is committed to inclusivity and this research, if the intervention is successful, will provide CTC with another program to advertise to families, educators, and school boards.
