title: Paraprofessionals' attitudes toward inclusion of students with disabilities in physical education.
abstract: The Physical Educators' Perceptions of Inclusion Inventory was administered to 80 paraprofessionals in special education. A Mann-Whitney U analysis indicated a significant difference in scores on knowledge related to inclusion by years of experience working. There was a significant difference between knowledge scores for length of time working but none for scores on perception.
