School Education for Children with Cerebral Palsy and Other Non-Verbal Learning Disorders: Catch-22 Situation Confronted by the Parents
Paleeri, Sankaranarayanan
Journal on Educational Psychology, v14 n2 p47-54 Aug-Oct 2020
Schooling of the children with Non-Verbal Learning Disorders, particularly of those with Cerebral Palsy (CP), is a Catch-22 situation to parents and teachers. The phrase Catch 22 reflects the dilemma faced by the parents while choosing education for their children with CP. The CP children with normal intelligence are precisely able to have normal schooling. A child with CP can be a regular classroom student who can partake in all teaching learning tasks except that which needs active physical participation. However, presently, the education of such children is not satisfactorily carried out in the main stream or inclusion. This research paper reconnoitres to the educational contexts of such children and their parents' perspectives. The major objective of the study is to explore the discernments of parents on choosing educational opportunities for their children with CP or other NVLD; whether mainstream or special education. The design of the study is investigative survey. Data have been collected by employing informal interview and inventory. The constituted sample included 36 parents of the children with the specified learning disorders. Six parents were chosen for the conduct of interview. The study reached on certain relevant findings that are upsetting the wide appreciation given to administrative and academic plans and policy supports to the present inclusive system. The parents of CP children wish for a paradigm shift from the present system and practice of inclusion.
