Abstract | The aim of this study uias to explore regular teachers' perceptions and experiences of suppor obstacles to communicative interactions for students with multiple and severe disabilities (MSD). Five te of students with MSD participated in two in-depth interviews. Interview transcripts were analysed using c analysis. Transcripts were coded into categories, which were then grouped to yield content themes. Particip identified a broad range of themes, including: the complex needs of students with MSD, teachers' training experience, communication education for teachers, the presence of peers without disabilities, the mains classroom, other staff in the school context, resources, infrastructure, the culture, size and geographical loc of the school, the home context, support from specialist personnel outside the school, including collaboration speech-language pathologists, the role of government departments, and broader societal factors. Ther complex, systemic influences on access to communicative interactions for students with MSD in mainst school settings. Inadequate systemic supports restrict communicative interactions between students wit and their teachers and peers without disabilities, and limit the involvement of students with M mainstream classroom activities. Further research is required with teachers of students with MSD to substa these preliminary findings. |
