children","inclusive education" and "attitude",this research summarizes the current concept of inclusive education and the research status of special education.It provides a theoretical basis for this whole article.Adopting the questionnaire method,I made the questionnaire on the basis of referring to the relevant questionnaires at home and abroad,compiled the Questionnaire on Parents’ Attitudes to Preschool Inclusive Education,and conducted the reliability and validity analysis.The reliability and validity are good.Questionnaires were sent to parents of special children to find out their understanding of special children,their cognition of laws and regulations related to special children,and their cognition of rights of special children,so the cognition of inclusive education is studied quantitatively.And also I conducted the research through kindergarten,social and other aspects of the emotional and behavioral tendency.Through the interview method,I interviewed kindergarten teachers,teachers in special institutions,parents of special children and parents of ordinary children in order to deeply understand the current attitude of parents towards inclusive education and the reasons for its formation.The third part is the analysis of the present situation of parents’ attitude towards inclusive education for preschool special children.Through the analysis of the questionnaire data and the interview with parents and teachers,the overall situation are summarized.I analyze the current situation from three dimensions: the cognition of the special children’s rights,policies and regulations,and the concept of inclusive education,and the emotional and behavioral tendencies towards inclusive education in kindergartens,society,policies and regulations.After that,I analyze the differences of the parents’ attitudes towards inclusive education in terms of age,education background,occupation and whether the children in the family have participated in the inclusive education.The fourth part analyzes the problems and causes of parents’ attitude towards inclusive education of preschool special children.The problems existing in the attitude of parents of preschool special children to inclusive education mainly include the misunderstanding of inclusive education,insufficient understanding of the rights of special children,and less willingness to participate in inclusive education.These problems are closely related to family concept,economic degree,physical and mental health degree,teachers’ level of inclusive educational kindergarten,kindergarten environment,publicity and public opinion,government policy and investment,community support,etc.The fifth part is the suggestions to improve the attitude of parents of preschool special children to inclusive education.The suggestions mainly include the following three aspects: The first is the social aspect,including improving the policies and regulations of inclusive education,increasing the promotion of policies and regulations of inclusive education in multiple ways,giving more understanding and care to special children,and making good use of the inclusive education opportunities provided by the community.The second aspect is about the inclusive educational kindergarten,including doing a good job in the training of special teachers,providing special education training for preschool teachers,and setting up a better inclusive education environment in the kindergarten.The third is about the family,including the parents in the family to take the initiative to understand inclusive education,improve special education skills,and have a rational and peaceful positive attitude.We can start from these three aspects to comprehensively improve the attitude of parents of preschool special children to inclusive education.
