This study was exploratory, addressing a topic that has not been investigated previously: the perceptions of adolescents toward educators with physical disabilities. To do so, the researcher administered a self-developed survey to a sample of 200 public high school students in Texas. Results were reported by grade level and gender. Overall the attitudes expressed by the students to their physically challenged teachers showed that the disability not only did not have a negative impact but, for the most part, the impact as stated by the students was positive. In addition, some students took pains to write comments that indicated respect for the teacher as a teacher and not as a disabled person. (Contains 1 table and 6 endnotes.)
