Abstract

The researchers used descriptive design using the survey technique. A self-made questionnaire distributed to 21 physically disabled students who took from public and private schools, offering either or both elementary and secondary education around the vicinity of Imus, Bacoor, and Cavite City chosen through simple quota sampling. The instrument translated into Tagalog. The data from the questionnaire tallied, tabulated, and analyzed. Data analyzed using percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Based on the findings, the researchers concluded (1) categories of treatment towards the disabled and participation in School activities garnered the lowest, therefore, need greater room for improvement and assistance, (2) next was reactions of the disabled, which revealed varied results since this was on a case-to-case basis. Highest as expected was under relationship with others since the school setting provides one of the major forces of social interactions, (3) recommendation would be an investigation of factors that might lead to such problems and assessment of school adaptations for physically disabled students. This may serve as reaching to them in a more holistic approach.
