Abstract

This chapter examines the efficacy of targeted workshops designed to enhance parental engagement in the education of children with Additional Learning Needs (ALN) within inclusive mainstream settings. Recognizing the critical role parents play in their children's educational outcomes, this research equips parents with the skills needed to support effective home learning environments. Utilizing a concurrent mixed-methods design, the chapter presents findings from quantitative surveys measuring shifts in parental confidence and qualitative data from open-ended survey responses. Key findings reveal significant improvements in parental confidence across various areas, including understanding ALN, emotional regulation, and boundary setting. The chapter highlights how workshops contribute to positive behavioral changes at home and in school, emphasizing the need for ongoing parental education to address the complexities of ALN effectively.
