Fiona,
Llewellyn (1999) used this model to examine how the
personal attitudes and expectations of educators can affect
the way they interact with different students. It was found
that if the educator had a good relationship with the
student the disability was perceived as being less
difficult. It was also found that if the student with a
disability became aware that educators or peers held
negative perceptions of them then this had a negative
implication for self-belief.
