Abstract
The goal of the study was to develop a better understanding of how Latino families with children with disabilities perceive their child's special education program and their involvement in school. Participants were families of children with disabilities attending a predominately Latino elementary school in a large, urban school district. Forty-four families participated in a questionnaire and a representative subgroup (n = 16) were interviewed individually. Findings revealed that overall families were quite satisfied with their child's special education program and with their own involvement. The majority of families indicated that they received regular communication and were satisfied with the overall school to home communication. However, some families still wanted more information about classroom activities and expressed frustration with communication citing their limited English skills as the primary source of difficulty.
