title: A specialized apperception test for ambulatory-impaired adolescents.
abstract: A specialized apperception test for physically impaired adolescents was developed, and a pilot was conducted using ten nonimpaired and ten impaired adolescents. Ten cards depicting various scenes with physically impaired male and female models were designed to elicit themes that may be particularly relevant for this adolescent population. Two raters evaluated how well each card elicited issues identified in the literature as pertinent to physically challenged adolescents.
