Perception of accesibility (Physical and Social Accessibility Scale)

This scale measures perceptions of accessibility in one's environment, focusing on physical and social aspects and considering how social interactions and inclusion influence daily life. A Likert scale ranging from 1 ( "extremely inaccessible") to 5 ( "extremely accessible ") was used to measure these perceptions.

Perception of group cohesion (Group Environment Questionnaire)

Perception of attitudes towards inclusion (AISDPE)

This scale consists of 17 items divided into two dimensions: cognitive perception (seven items) and behavioral intention (ten items). The scores were determined using a Likert scale ranging from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 5 ("strongly agree").
