AB - The purpose of this study is to investigate the current perceptions of special education teachers in terms of: 1) perceived importance of involving parents and other family members in the transition process; and 2) perceived importance and frequency of implementing the teacher’s role in improving the involvement of parents and other family members in the transition process. This study utilized a mixed method design including 1) survey study with 102 special education teachers and 2) in-depth interview with 15 special education teachers. The results of this study are as follows. First, overall special education teachers for students with intellectual disabilities perceived the importance of involving parents and other family members in the transition process. As a result of qualitative in-depth interview, teachers recognized that parents should be involved more in transition process through continuous communication and cooperation in order for students with intellectual disabilities to have positive transition outcome. Some parents actively participate in the transition process while some parents do not participate in the transition process actively and cooperate with teachers due to many reasons such as economic issue. Second, special education teachers perceived the importance of teacher roles in improving the involvement of parents and other family members in this process. However, the teachers perceived their implementation of this factor as relatively low.
Thus, it is necessary for us to provide qualitative parental education and teachers should build reliable relationship through teachers' active attitude. It could encourage parents to participate in transition process more actively.
