Teachers' Beliefs about the Participation of Students with Severe Disabilities in School Clubs
Pence, Alicia R.; Dymond, Stacy K.
Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, v41 n1 p52-68 Mar 2016
The purpose of this study was to investigate teachers' beliefs about the participation of students with severe disabilities (SD) in school clubs. Participants were special education teachers (N = 60) of middle and junior high school students with SD from one state. Data were collected using a survey. Results indicate that teachers value including students in school clubs and believe that students benefit from engaging in club activities, yet they did not view this setting as a place to address curricula. Issues with supports, transportation, and planning were identified as barriers to participation. Prior experience sponsoring a school club positively affected teachers' perceptions of benefits gained from participation.
