Some Features and Differences Between Parents of Students with Special Needs and Typical Children

This study investigated some features and differences between parents of students with special needs and typical children. Sample consisted of parents of children with special needs integrated in regular schools (n = 81) and parents of their typical peers (n = 231). Study was focused on parents' attitudes toward their children, estimations of their children behaviors at home, personal traits (competence, external locus of control, self-respect and anxiety) and social and economic status. Results suggested differences in attitudes, social background and some of personal traits between two groups of parents. It was found that personal traits could be predictor of parents' attitudes and estimations of children. Results suggest the need for further investigations. Practical implications are considered.
