Tekin-Iftar, Elif; Sirin, Nursinem; Collins, Belva C. – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2021
Although sometimes neglected, safety skills instruction should be considered as important a teaching area as others (e.g., self-care, academic, communication skills) because these skills can lead to more independence in a less restrictive environment. The researchers designed this study to reveal the opinions of Turkish parents, teachers, and…
