Can I conduct a interview with a parent who has a child or children with special needs?

This is a assignment for a special education class in college. The questions are as follows: 1. What are the educational hopes for your child or children with special needs? 2. What are your child's interests and preferred learning styles? 3. How can the school help caregivers with student learning and school involvement?

1. That my daughter can learn to read and pass all subjects and eventually graduate high school. Maybe eventually even go to college.


2. My daughter is motivated by music, and uses eye gaze to communicate choices or yes/no answers.


3. Schools need to involve special needs kids more with the average kids and vice versa. They should not be segregated. They also need to make sure each kid has the appropriate equipment to aide them to learn. They should never assume they cannot learn just because they haven't been given the means to do so, ie. communication devices, etc.
My son is in kindergarten. He has ADHD, bipolar, cognitive disorder, possible ODD, and possible Reactive Attachment Disorder. He has severe behavioral issues (possibly neurological damage) that interfere with his learning. He started the school year off with a 504 plan, and a couple weeks ago I succesfully got him and IEP. I have learned that as a parent of a special needs child, I need to advocate with my son. The school did not seem to want to accomodate him until I went in there and stated the laws to them and why he was eligable under them. Then they had no choice and gave him the accomodations that he is entitled to.





1. My educational hopes for my son are that he will learn to like school, and have a positive attitude about it. I want him to learn to his best potential. Not all A's... just whatever the best he can be is. As long as he tries and is happy then I will be too.





2. My son's interested in science (how things work and how they are made), trains, trucks, police. Educationally he enjoys watching the life cycles of butterflies, sorting objects, nature, and doing the daily news. His prefered learning style would involve a way to learn while moving. He can not sit still for long at all.





3. The school can help the caregivers with student learning by passing on the information about what the child is learning at school, so the parents can go over this same information with the child. Caregivers could be more involved with the school if the teachers are effective communicaters, keep in contact with the parent about the child's progress, and make the parent feel important by asking about the child's interests etc.
