Abstract

To gain a comprehensive understanding of the current status of inclusive education for children with autism in Beijing from the perspectives of parents, a questionnaire-based survey was administered to 202 parents residing in Beijing, whose children have autism. Their experiences with inclusive education, sentiments towards acceptance and support, and preparedness for educational transitions were explored. The results revealed that inclusive education served as the primary educational placement for the majority of children with autism. However, parents perceived a low frequency and efficacy of support extended by mainstream school teachers. Limited acceptance and insufficient professional support continued to pose significant challenges for children with autism in mainstream educational settings. Additionally, there appeared to be a deficiency in the provision of guidance for parents of children with autism concerning educational transitions. It is therefore recommended that efforts be made to enhance the operational mechanism of inclusive education in Beijing and to offer guidance to parents and their children with autism during the process of educational transition.

北京市自闭症儿童全纳教育现状研究——来自自闭症儿童家长的视角

为从家长角度全面了解北京市自闭症儿童全纳教育现状，对202名北京市自闭症儿童家长进行问卷调查。他们在全纳教育方面的经验，对接受和支持的看法，以及对教育过渡的准备。结果显示，全纳教育是大多数自闭症儿童的主要教育安排。然而，家长认为主流学校教师提供的支持频率和效果较低。在主流教育环境中，接受程度有限和专业支持不足继续对自闭症儿童构成重大挑战。此外，在为自闭症儿童的父母提供有关教育过渡的指导方面似乎存在不足。因此，建议努力完善北京市全纳教育的运行机制，并在教育转型过程中为自闭症家长及其子女提供指导。
