The Views of Special Education Parents: Schooling Experiences and Opinions during the COVID-19 Pandemic--A National Polling Report [March 2022]
EdChoice
Unless otherwise noted, data and charts in this report are based on surveys conducted between October 12, 2021 and January 16, 2022 among a sample of 998 special education parents and 3,716 non-special needs parents. The interviews were administered online and the data were weighted to approximate a target sample of Parents based on gender, educational attainment, age, race, and region. Among the key findings are: (1) A very large proportion of special education parents -- two out of three -- say they prefer having their child be schooled at home at least one day per week. This is a slightly higher proportion than that of non-special needs parents; (2) Special education parents are much more likely than other parents to report they have a child in a learning pod or receiving tutoring outside of school; (3) Compared to other school parents, special education parents are more likely to feel various resources such as individualized learning plans and access to mental health supports and counseling will be beneficial to their children; and (4) Special education parents have a wide range of schooling preferences, regardless of financial costs or transportation factors. This report highlights: (1) COVID-19 and schooling; (2) views on K-12 education; (3) school choice policies; and (4) the survey profile and demographics.
