Abstract

The original Realabilities Puppet Musical features five puppets with disabilities, who harness their strengths to rehabilitate bullies in their school. Paired samples t-tests comparing pre and post-tests of 68 fourth and fifth graders, who viewed the musical, revealed significantly improved cognitive attitudes and behavioral intentions towards individuals with disabilities post-show.
