Arthur, Lisa D.
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Marymount University
This qualitative phenomenological study explored the barriers, solutions, and drivers of change for the inclusion of students with disabilities in Catholic elementary schools from parents' perspectives. Eight open-ended interviews were conducted with the parents of students with disabilities who attended Catholic or public elementary schools, adding parental voice to the literature on inclusion in Catholic schools. Research participants were identified through purposive snowball sampling. Findings from this study identified lack of access to clinicians as a major barrier, centralized administration of inclusion programs as a possible solution, and the advocacy of parents of students with disabilities as a major driver of change. These findings were related to the conceptual framework of this study and considered barriers, solutions, and drivers of change for the inclusion of students with disabilities in Catholic schools through the lens of Church, school, and community/family.
