Abstract/Summary

The study involved 59 orthopedically disabled adolescents from 19 public schools in Manila and Quezon City and from the two Philippine Orthopedic Hospital-School for the Crippled Children (POH-SCC) in Banaue and Novaliches. The Bell Adjustment Inventory, together with a structured questionnaire, was administered personally by the researcher. Data gathered were analyzed with the use of frequency tabulations and percentages of the profile of the respondents. The Pearson r was used to determine the relationship between extent of disability and social and emotional adjustment while stepwise regression was utilized to determine if extent of disability operates differentially on the social and emotional adjustment of orthopedically disabled adolescents as a function of socio-economic status and age of onset of disability. The variables given attention, namely extent of disability, socio-economic status, and age of onset of disability, do not pose significant relationships on the emotional adjustment. Only socio-economic status predict or affect social adjustment.
