  A program titled Along with science for the disabled was applied to 119 elementary and 92 middle school students enrolled in 3 different learning centers for the science gifted from June to September 2014.It was designed to promote the general awareness for and decrease the prejudice against the disabled people.The subjects participated in the 5 steps which included lectures focused on sympathetic understanding of the disableness,experiencing the reality the disabled are most likely to face in everyday life,writing on one's own awareness of disableness in general,small group activities of producing collectively mindmaps of disableness and promotion posters for persuading people into being fair-minded to the disabled,and making a 3D frame polyhedron designed to help the disabled by using scientific knowledge familiar to each student respectively.Differential effects for the elementary and middle school students were revealed by a series of paired t-tests of the differences between the pre tests and the post tests of 6 subscales including positive awareness for the disabled,negative one for them,perception of their social relationship,perception of their adaptation,general prejudice and specific prejudice against them.While the elementary science gifted showed significant changes toward more positive attitudes to the disabled in all the subscales,the middle school gifted students failed to do so.This results imply that more efforts be made to enhance the awareness of the middle school gifted whose prejudice was supposed to get stronger due to the accumulated amount of learning about negative cognitions and emotions toward the disabled,compared to more plastic prejudice of younger students.
