In a recent study of grade 4 students, which is continuing, Dr. Freer found that most of the students have already adopted a deficit view of disability. He has also developed the Tripartite Intervention for students, a 12-week program addressing how we feel about disabilities, how we act towards individuals with disabilities and the thoughts and stereotypes already developed.
John is a Professor in the School of Community Studies at St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario. He is the coordinator of the Educational Support program and helps to train students interested in pursuing a career in special education. He is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Windsor, where he teaches primarily in the areas of educational psychology and special education.
