This study compared the attitudes of college students towards a woman with disabilities participat-ing in either the Special Olympics or typical recreational activities. One class of college students saw a slide presentation depicting the woman engaged in activities at the Special Olympics. The second class saw a slide presentation showing the woman engaged in matched activities in community settings. The results indicated that the class that viewed the Special Olympic presentation regarded the woman as younger and felt that she should be in more segregated school and recreational settings. There were no significant differences in responses to questions related to functioning level, living situation, and vocational situations.
