Abstract
This project aims to explore the relationship between general education teachers and the
parents of children with disabilities, aged three years or younger, in an inclusive
classroom. This was completed through an action research process using survey and field
observations. The three research questions being addressed in the study are:
1. What is the relationship between general education teachers and parents of
children three years and below with disabilities in an inclusive classroom?
2. How do the effective relationship dimensions support parents and teachers in an
inclusive classroom?
3. What implications are needed to build an equitable, responsive and inclusive
classroom for children with disabilities aged three years and below?
