May I Interview you?

[lupinn]

Hi everybody, I am currently majoring in special education at the local university here. I am conducting a series of interviews for a particular class I'm taking, and was just curious if any of you with a special needs child would like to take a moment and answer the following questions. This will help me in my career path, and very well could offer others with some valuable information about children with special needs.

Thank you so much, and God bless.


1. How would you describe your child’s special needs?

2. How did you feel when you learned of your child’s special needs?

3. What adjustments did your family make to meet the needs of your child?

4. What support groups or agencies do you use?

5. What are the goals you hold for your child with special needs?

6. What are some of the challenges you have met in meeting your child’s needs?

7. How do you work with the schools in educating your child with special needs?

8. What has helped the most in dealing with your child’s special needs?

9. How do the siblings (if any) respond to your child with special needs?

10. What are some areas of improvement would you like to see in servicing your child’s special needs?

11. How does your child see himself/herself with the family unit?

12. What are the special joys you experience with your child?

13. What special arrangements (if any) are needed for your child?

14. Does having a child with special needs pose additional financial responsibilities for the family?

15. How do you deal with the stress and additional responsibilities of raising a child with special needs?

16. Is there anything else you would like to express during this interview?

At this time I am locking this post. While it is good to help someone with a class it is not a good idea to participate when you do not know anything about the person or the class or how information obtained will be used..

Thank you.
