參、影響家長對其智障子女未來生 活需求的因素

Council for Exceptional Children

(1988)指出,身心障礙者的家長所應 盡的責任是:一、清楚瞭解其障礙子女 需扮演多種生活角色;二、儘早與特殊 教育教師及相關人員共同為其殘障子女 安排有關活動,以學習與未來生活有關 的各種生活知識與技能。

然而,Paul 和 Frea(2002)認為,

環境的不同會產生價值觀的差異,對子 女的期許也會有不同。家長因為不同的 背景因素,對其智障子女未來生活需求 的看法有所差異。

以下將影響家長對其智障子女未來 生活需求的因素分成智障子女及家長本

身兩部份,分別以表一與表二說明之。

王天苗(民82)指出,心智發展障 礙兒童的家庭,可能因為其子女在不同 的年齡階段、不同的障礙狀況而對生活 有其獨特需求。而從表一可知,在研究 家長對其智障子女未來生活需求時,子 女的性別、障礙程度、安置類型是最常 被探討的因素,也就是說子女的性別、

障礙程度往往影響了家長對其智障子女 的未來生活期待。

至於家長本身,在文獻上有關影響 其對子女需求的因素有性別、年齡、居 住地區,詳細內容如表二所示。

由表一與表二,我們可知,智障者 常因文化環境的不同,以及社會大眾接 納程度的差異,影響了他們日常的生 活。此外,智障者本身的障礙與家庭所

處的環境,亦直接或間接地影響了智障
