Letter of Request for IDP Instrument

Subject: Request for IDP

Madam Fethney:

Mabuhay!

I am a candidate for a master's degree in education, concentrating on special education, at West Visayas State University, Iloilo City, Philippines. I am currently writing my thesis about regular education teachers' attitudes toward persons with disabilities. Upon researching the literature on attitudes towards persons with disabilities and inclusion, I read about the instrument Interaction with Disabled Persons Scale and found this very relevant to my research. I also learned that the one who developed the scale, Prof. Gething, is associated with your institution.

May I ask if there is any way that I could ask Prof. Gething's permission to use the IDP instrument? I would be very grateful if I would be granted a copy of both the IDP instrument as well as the instruction and scoring manual. Your generosity will surely be of great help to my research as well as in the area of special education in my country. 

Maraming salamat po!

Respectfully yours,

Jaylord S. Losabia

Madam:

I am currently writing my thesis entitled Societal and Personal Attitudes of Elementary Teachers Toward Persons with Disabilities as a requisite for a Master’s degree in Education major in Special Education at West Visayas State University. This thesis aims to study elementary teachers’ societal and personal attitudes toward persons with disabilities. It hopes to acquire a general picture of teachers’ attitudes in relation to including and accommodating learners with disabilities in their classrooms.  

I am hereby requesting your permission to allow me to survey the teachers in your school. The survey instruments are Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons Scale and Interaction With Disabled Persons Scale. These are self-administered instruments that can be accomplished in more or less fifteen minutes, or can be answered at home. The information will be pooled for the thesis and individual data gathered will remain confidential.

Your approval will be of great significance for the success of this study. Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter.

Mrs. Teresa Caritativo

Special Education Teacher

SPED-Integrated School for Exceptional Children

Mabini Street, Iloilo City

Dear Madam:

I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Education major in Special Education at West Visayas State University. I am in the process of writing my thesis entitled Societal and Personal Attitudes of Elementary Teachers Toward Persons with Disabilities. This study wishes to explore elementary regular education teachers’ societal and personal attitudes toward persons with disabilities. It hopes to acquire a general picture of teachers’ attitudes in relation to including and accommodating learners with disabilities in their classrooms.

The instruments that will be used to measure teachers’ societal and personal attitudes toward persons with disabilities are Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons Scale (Yuker et al, 1970) and Interaction with Disabled Persons Scale (Gething, 1991) respectively. These instruments are standardized and have been used in various researches. For the purpose of this study however, these instruments are modified, changing the term “disabled persons” to “persons with disabilities”. Sub-items are also added to measure not only attitudes toward persons with disabilities in general but as well as to specific type of disability such as physical-motor, sensory and intellectual/developmental disability. This is also done to address the research problem of identifying significant differences on societal and personal attitudes toward persons with disabilities in respect to the type of disability. Moreover, definitions of the type of disability are indicated in hand with the instructions to avoid ambiguities and misinterpretation. 

In this regard, I would like to ask your knowledge and expertise to assess the validity and cultural appropriateness of the said instruments. With your reputable opinion, I am positive that I could improve and utilize these instruments to attain the objectives of the study. 

Attached herewith are the original and modified versions of Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons Scale and Interaction with Disabled Persons Scale. If you have any clarifications, you may contact me through these numbers 09203669320.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Respectfully yours,
