Schools and family involvement: Attitudes among Latinos who have children with visual impairments

This article presents the results of a survey of 183 Latino family members of students with visual impairments. Although the family members expressed positive attitudes toward schools and teachers and believed that families need to be involved in the education of their children, they were not as positive about their ability to help their children in reading and math. Student variables associated with differences among respondents were age and reading mode, and variables specific to the respondents were language and educational level.
