The purpose of this study was to provide insight into the attitudes of middle school students toward participation in a wheelchair basketball unit. Similar to the findings of Tripp, French and Sherrill (1995), all three groups possessed positive general attitudes toward including a student with a physical disability in their physical education class. Attendees may consider implementation of reverse inclusion as a viable option for addressing diversity within a general physical education setting.
