Abstract

This study employed a descriptive design using a survey technique. Self-made questionnaires with corresponding pictures distributed 360 respondents were grade 1-3 students at Benedictine Abbey School chosen through simple quota sampling. The data from the questionnaire tallied, tabulated, and analyzed. Data gathered and interpreted using frequency, percentage, and mean. Based on the findings, the research concludes that (1) most of the respondents were female and ages eight (8) years old. (2) The study found that only 48% of the students known a disabled child and 56% of the students expressed a total involvement in the kind of help they would extend to the disabled children. (3) Immediate reactions expressed by the students upon seeing the pictures were afraid, surprised, sad, and pity. (4) Exposure to disabled children and maturity appears to be contributory factors to a more positive reaction.
