Abstract


The purpose of this research was to find out the perceptions of SEN students’ parents towards the inclusive school. The method used in this research was a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The data collection techniques were in depth interview with three SEN students’ parents and classroom observation at SMP Negeri 13 Palembang. The results of the research showed that the SEN students’ parents have positive perceptions towards inclusive school because they believe that inclusive schools have benefits for their children; (1) improvement of SEN students’ social skills, and (2) equal opportunity in education. However, the result from observation showed that there is a challenge to improve their academic skills. Thus, the SEN students’ parents need to be more involved in their children’s education in the class and outside the class.
