This qualitative research interviewed six parents and one special educators teaching in an institution. The collected data were analyzed by NVivo 10th edition.
The main research findings were as follows:
1.The parents considered that inclusion education meant disability children and normal children studying in the same environment. They did not realize the content of inclusion education, thus they worried about the teaching environment of inclusion education.
2.Facing children’s disabilities, the parents had no ideas about special education in the beginning; however they accepted and got information about special needed environment during the process of choosing division of welfare services. Afterward, they noticed children’s advances and teachers’ diligence; also, they thought it was a correct decision to choose the division of welfare services.
3.For the main reason for choosing the institution, the parents considered that the ratio of student to teacher, teachers’ patient and kindness, the near distance from the institution to home, as well as accessible resources.
4.For children’s future prospects, most parents cared about the next step of education including delayed entry school, special education school, special education class, resource class and regular classes. They hoped that disability children could study in inclusion environment based on their competence. In addition, parents expected that children could earn a living by themselves in the future.
