Immigrant Students in Special Schools: Parents’ Perspectives
Keywords:
Immigrant Students, Parents' Perspectives, Special Schools, Educational Provision, Views and ExperiencesAbstract
This small-scale study focused on the parents of immigrant children in special schools for students with moderate to severe learning disabilities in Ireland. It sought to explore the experiences and views of parents in relation to the educational provision for their children. Immigrant parents’ reluctance to ask questions and address concerns highlights the need for service providers to be proactive in relating to and working with their immigrant families.
