Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate parental views on the experiences of children with special needs during transitions to preschool programs, the services provided by the schools and related problems. Eight parents of children with special needs participated in the study. Data were gathered via semi-structured interviews and analyzed inductively. Results showed that decisions for transitions were taken by health professionals, school selection was based primarily on the school s/teacher s acceptance of the child with special needs, children had to change their school due to lack of services and parents were offered insufficient services during their child s transition. Other findings showed that parents major concerns during their child s transition to preschool programs were finding a suitable school and once they found one, other concerns such as lack of trust in the staff, their children s adjustment difficulties and problems in peer acceptance emerged. Parents also reported the need for proper legislations regarding the transition process.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, özel gereksinimli (ÖG) çocuk ebeveynlerinin bakış açısıyla erken müdahaleden okul öncesi programlara geçiş sürecindeki yaşantılarını, ilgili kurumların hizmetlerini ve yaşanan sorunları ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmaya 8 ÖG çocuk ebeveyni katılmıştır. Nitel yöntemin kullanıldığı çalışmada, veriler yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmelerle toplanmış ve tümevarım yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular ÖG çocukların geçişine sağlık personelinin karar verdiğini, kurum seçmede kurumun/öğretmenin ÖG çocuğu kabul etmesinin dikkate alındığını, kurumun yetersiz bulunması nedeniyle ÖG çocukların birden fazla geçiş yaptıklarını göstermiştir. Ayrıca geçiş sürecinde ebeveynlere çok sınırlı hizmet sunulduğu, ebeveynlerin geçiş öncesinde en çok uygun kurum bulamama kaygısı, geçiş sonrasında ise kuruma ilişkin güvensizlik yaşadıkları ve çocuklarının yeni ortama/gruba uyum sağlayamaması ve akranları tarafından reddedilmesi sorunuyla karşılaştıkları ve bunun yanında devletten geçişe ilişkin yasaların/mevzuatın iyileştirilmesini bekledikleri bulunmuştur.
