Children in mainstream classrooms.

JK123

Hi, my name is Jodie, I am a third year university student at Cardiff Metropolitan University. I am currently writing my dissertation and I have chosen my topic as: 'How practitioners support children with Autism in a mainstream classroom?'

I have chosen this topic as my chosen career is to work with children with Autism as this has always been a passion of mine and I wanted to look more into children with autism being integrated into mainstream classrooms. I have heard both positive and negative experiences so I wanted to look more in depth into the topic to not only help me with my own practice but hopefully to help other teachers or professionals working with children with Autism also.

So, I was wondering whether any of you could help me with this by telling me your own experiences regarding your children, everything you say will be confidential and you have the right to ask not to be included at any time.

I hope I am not intruding and I thank you in advance.

Jodie :)

  • Hi Jodie,

    Have you discussed with your supervisor appropriate ways to collect data on children? There are real ethics issues here. You are asking a forum designed for safe support to parents of children with autism to impart information to you about minors.

    An undergraduate dissertation is not a safe place for gathering such information as there is no proper infrastructure governing the disposal of information and the visibility of the dissertation to third parties. Even if you code responses, information disclosed may identify the person or services used.

    Above all you should seek permission from the managers/moderators of a website like this. It is in the rules, if you read them.

    Cardiff Metropolitan, although a new university, actually has very clear guidance on research ethics and research governance. I'm actually impressed by it. What you are trying to do is in direct contravention of your university's best efforts at good practice. So you are letting them down.

    Talk to your supervisor, and if need be the research committee for your subject School. It may be your supervisor needs to be better advised.
