- Abstract
Studies dealing with the sociometry of handicapped children have not shown the presence of any single handicapping condition to be an absolute criterion for predicting rejection. Since brain damage is associated with many handicapping conditions, the relationship of brain damage associated characteristics and social acceptance in EMR classes was investigated. Those characteristics commonly associated with brain damage were found to be closely and cumulatively associated with rejection among the subjects studied. The mast frequently found characteristics among the most often rejected subjects were short attention span, hyperkinesis, emotional lability, and impulsivity.
