Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects on health welfare through the attitudes to handicapped peoples and related problems of young peoples who experienced integration at the time of a high school. It is examined through the comparison with young persons who has not experienced integration at the time of a high school. The result of this study showed that 1)There was not the sense of incongruity to integration with blindness (children whose eyes are not seen). 2) Even the experienced group of integration recommended a special school (a School for the handicapped) for the education of handicapped childrens. The main reasons recommend a special school are not discrimination and a prejudice but for support theirself in the future of them and inadequate environment of the ordinary school. 3) Experience of integration education was connected to the improvement of the knowledge regarding handicapped but it did not reach even to active acceptance of handicapped and related problems. 4) Two groups which the experienced group of integration and not all pointed out alike that a life environment for handicapped is not enough yet, especially the information and employment problems for them.
