Twenty aptitude‐treatment interaction (ATI) studies that used handicapped students as subjects were reviewed to determine the validity of the ATI concept with handicapped students. Since only four of the studies resulted in significant disordinal aptitude‐treatment interactions, it was concluded that the ATI concept, on the basis of present information, is essentially nonvalidated. Areas for further research are discussed.
