Parents attitude: Inclusive education of children with disability

Abstract

This article reports the findings of a study designed to explore the attitudes of parents of normal developing children toward the inclusion of children with disabilities into mainstream education in Macedonia. Specifically, the study was designed to explore the similarities and differences in the attitudes of two groups of parents: a group of parents of preschool children and a group of parents of school age children. Participants included 88 parents. Generally, many of the parents accept inclusive education, but most of them still think the special school is better place for education of children with disability.
