Abstract

This study examined the relational factors influencing school engagement for parents of high school youth with emotional/behavioral disorders. Fourteen parents of high school students (12 mothers, two fathers) who received special education services participated in semistructured interviews. Formal qualitative analyses of audiotaped phone interviews revealed some positive and some negative experiences by parents, the importance of coparenting to increase supportiveness to their child (and dimensions of effective coparenting), and recommendations from them for improving family engagement processes. In general, parents appreciated and recommended proactive and positive communication and collaboration with school staff emphasizing student strengths, being genuinely and meaningfully involved in the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process, with adequate time allowed for this involvement, and for staff to be organized and engaged in working with them. Findings are discussed in relation to ideas for practice and policy enhancement, and future research directions.

影响高中生情绪/行为问题家长参与特殊教育的相关因素

本研究旨在探讨影响情绪/行为障碍高中生家长学校投入的相关因素。14名接受特殊教育的高中生家长(12名母亲，2名父亲)参加了半结构化访谈。对录音电话访谈的正式定性分析揭示了父母的一些积极和一些消极的经历，父母对增加对孩子的支持的重要性(以及有效父母的维度)，以及他们对改善家庭参与过程的建议。总的来说，家长们赞赏并建议与学校工作人员进行积极主动的沟通和合作，强调学生的优势，真正和有意义地参与到个性化教育计划(IEP)的过程中，有足够的时间允许这种参与，并且工作人员有组织地参与到他们的工作中。最后，对研究结果进行了讨论，并对今后的研究方向进行了展望。
