AB - [Purpose] The purpose of this study is to explore the perspectives of mothers of elementary students with autism regarding inclusive education. [Method] To this purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted with eight mothers of students with autism in grades 3rd to 6th who are receiving inclusive education in elementary schools. [Results] The study identified three major themes: ‘Inclusive Education Different from Expectations’, ‘Inclusive education influenced by teacher’s capabilities’, ‘Overcoming Reality for the Future’. [Conclusion] First, the research participants enrolled their children in regular elementary schools with expectations about classes, but were disappointed because inclusive classes did not meet their expectations. It was discussed that participation time in inclusive classes needs to be guaranteed.
Second, the research participants recognized that the tendencies of inclusive class teachers in inclusive education had a great educational influence on their children, and considered it important to meet a good special class teacher. Therefore, inclusive and special class teachers need to listen to the needs of parents of students with autism and seek ways to actively communicate with them. Third, the research participants said that children are placed in difficult situations in inclusive education situations and suffer psychologically, but that inclusive situations are necessary for the children's future. Therefore, in inclusive education, various supports should be provided not only to students with autism but also to their parents
