This descriptive study sought to examine the resiliency factors families developed when faced with the challenges of raising a child manifesting a severe disability. The study compares and contrasts how families managed the additional responsibility and stress of raising a child with special needs. The study seeks to identify, the key characteristics present in resilient families allowing them to not just survive but thrive. The study found that there is relationship between resilience and Socio Economic Status (SES).The study also found that having the time and the ability to reflect was key to reconfiguration, which is seen as crucial in the development of resilience. Once afforded this type of time the families reconstructed their vision of family, of disability and their child. Lastly, the study found that the development of resiliency was enhanced by the development of rhythm in the family. Rhythm is defined in this study as the establishment of consistent rules, rituals and routines.

“…Contained in this myth are the depiction of words and numbers as two different and opposing entities that cannot easily or``shamelessly'' coexist without considerable effort (Ford-Gilboe, Campbell, & Berman, 1995;Rossman & Wilson, 1994) and the equating of qualitative research with words and qualities and of quantitative research with numbers and quantities (Bauer, Gaskell, & Allum, 2000). Indeed, qualitative research is often de®ned by the absence of numbers, in addition to a critique of numbers, in which they are associated with the putatively super®cial preoccupations of post-or neopositivist researchers with how much and how many.…”

Two myths about qualitative research are that real qualitative researchers do not count and cannot count. These antinumber myths have led to the underutilization of numbers in qualitative research and to the simplistic view of qualitative research as non-or antinumber. Yet numbers are integral to qualitative research, as meaning depends, in part, on number. As in quantitative research, numbers are used in qualitative research to establish the signi®cance of a research project, to document what is known about a problem, and to describe a sample. But they are also useful for showcasing the labor and complexity of qualitative work and to generate meaning from qualitative data; to document, verify, and test researcher interpretations or conclusions; and to re-present target events and experiences. Although numbers are important in the treatment of qualitative data, qualitative researchers should avoid the counting pitfalls of verbal counting, overcounting, misleading counting, and acontextual counting.

“…To be more precise, researcher aims to embed the secondary data (qualitative data) to the primary data (quantitative). The second reason is that such an amalgamation allows the researcher to triangulate the research findings (Rossman & Wilson, 1994;. Triangulation (Patton, 2001) refers to an attempt to look for research consistency which is, in this particular research, also intended to delve deeper into the very nature of the data so that both can be functionally complementary to each other in minimizing the pitfalls of a mere reliance on a single method .…”

Abstract:The recent spread of technological innovation along with the sophistication of the ICT gadgets have shapped and transformed the realm of learning and teaching including in that of English Language. Alongside, ICT has become more and more inextricable part of human businesses and put a higher level of demand for technological literacy in the part of English learners in order for them to be convident in the digital era membership and participation. This study surveyed 400 high school students as regards: (a) their ICT gadgets perceived ownership; (b) their dayto-day outside and in-school use and; (c) their activities using ICT gadgets for English learning. Findings from the descriptive analyses of the mixed-method study, disclose the positive perception about the gadget ownership. Interestingly, the current study also discovers that there has been a mismatch between the positively perceived ownership of the ICT gadgets and the real day-to-day use as facilitative media for learning, in particular as a useful aids for English language learning. Focusing on the result discussion, issues with regard to discrepancies in the provision of infrastructures and the lack of the support system by school institutions emerge from the FGD analysis highlighting the importance for all decision makers, school institutions, and teachers to consciously start doing something about it. By highlighting the pivotal role of the technology, the researcher suggested a real action for responding to the call for a change in both policy makers and institutonal levels to start integrating the technology into the school curricula.
