This article contains descriptive statistics on attitudes toward disabled persons of a population of physical therapists. The instrument used to measure attitudes was the Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons Scale-Form A. The population for this study was the 553 physical therapists listed in the 1976–77 Directory of the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Physical Therapy Association, and living in Wisconsin. From this population, a sample of 125 (22.5%) completed and returned the form. A table of normative data in the form of percentiles was developed, along with a table of descriptive statistics that include the median, the quartile deviation, and measures of skewness and kurtosis.
