When young children with disabilities participate in community activities they are provided with increased opportunities to learn, practice, and generalize important skills. Not all families, however, may know how to access activities and even when they do they may experience some barriers to achieving full access. This article reports on a qualitative investigation of the perception of ten Korean parents of preschool children with disabilities regarding the opportunities their child has for inclusion in community activities and the factors that influence their child and family’s access and participation. Through a semistructure interview format families expressed a strong commitment and positive attitude for supporting their child’s participation. They also noted that their child’s actual community participation is limited by a number of barriers. Key among the barriers they reported was the bias they experienced towards their children by those in the community and a lack of individuals in the community that had the necessary knowledge to support their child’s participation. The findings suggest that families may need more supports and services in order to effectively broaden the types of community activities accessed and to ensure full participation by their child and family.
Abstract
When young children with disabilities participate in community activities they are provided with increased opportunities to learn, practice, and generalize important skills. Not all families, however, may know how to access activities and even when they do they may experience some barriers to achieving full access. This article reports on a qualitative investigation of the perception of ten Korean parents of preschool children with disabilities regarding the opportunities their child has for inclusion in community activities and the factors that influence their child and family’s access and participation. Through a semistructure interview format families expressed a strong commitment and positive attitude for supporting their child’s participation. They also noted that their child’s actual community participation is limited by a number of barriers. Key among the barriers they reported was the bias they experienced towards their children by those in the community and a lack of individuals in the community that had the necessary knowledge to support their child’s participation. The findings suggest that families may need more supports and services in order to effectively broaden the types of community activities accessed and to ensure full participation by their child and family.
