dc.description.abstract | Family-school partnerships between family members and school personnel can be successful as well as unproductive for parents who have children and youth with developmental disabilities. This qualitative study sought to capture parents’ identities as they negotiated family-school partnerships when making inclusive education decisions and discussing special education service-delivery options for their children and youth with developmental disabilities. Seventeen participants shared their personal narratives in interviews and focus groups. Data were thematically analyzed after an initial round of open-coding generated broad themes. Findings revealed the experiences parents have in partnering with schools span an identity spectrum, including: (a) victim, (b) advocate, (c) perseverer, (d) educator, (e) broker and negotiator, and (f) surrenderer. Implications for policy, practice, and research focus on parent identity and familyschool partnerships. | en_US |
