Communication versus Compliance: African-American Parents' Involvement in Special Education.
Harry, Beth; And Others
Exceptional Children, v61 n4 p364-77 Feb 1995
A longitudinal, 3-year study investigated the participation of African American parents of 24 preschoolers in special education programs in an urban school district. Interviews, observations of conferences, and examination of students' documents were used. Data showed consistent initial efforts by families to support their children's schooling, which eventually gave way to disillusionment. (Author/DB)
