Abstract
Integration and segregation of handicapped students are discussed in conjunction with the shortcomings of Public Law 94—142. Problems in measurement of social acceptance are presented, and sociometric status of various handicapped populations in regular classrooms is reviewed. The literature indicates that exceptional children are typically unpopular among their regular class peers, highlighting the need to consider social acceptance in appropriate education of handicapped students.Keywords
