A nonexperimental comparison of the time estimation skills of 16 seventh grade male students with emotional handicaps with those of their nonhandicapped peers was conducted. Results indicate that students with emotional handicaps exhibit significantly poorer time estimation skills than do their nonhandicapped peers. Implications for future research needs and educational practice are presented.
