“…Because the teachers gave the same assignments both for students with special needs and students without special needs, adjustment was given to the students with special needs by giving them more extended deadlines, with more encouragement given to their parents to get more involved in completing the homework. These adjustments are necessary as parents of students with special needs tend to be more prone to be depressed because of their children's conditions (Berkowitz et al, 2021;Kalayci & Ergül, 2020).…”

“…Parental involvement in school plays a significant role in children's socioemotional and academic development (Berkowitz et al, 2021;Liu et al, 2020). Parental involvement is defined as the actions that parents perform to enhance their children's school achievement in cooperation with teachers and other school staff (Kalayci & Ergül, 2020;Yulianti et al, 2022).

“…Parents have good involvement when they become active agents in directing their children's progress and goals through education, including all the experiences that the children go through in the process (Grepon & Cepada, 2021;Kalayci & Ergül, 2020).

In general, it can be a way to improve communication between school-parent relating to their children learning and development (Grepon & Cepada, 2021;Kalayci & Ergül, 2020;Sharabi et al, 2021;Turtulla & Lopar, 2022).

Parental involvement in inclusive school is crucial for the development of children with special needs. Thus, the present study observed an inclusive primary school in Denpasar to identify the types of parental involvement in the school, the school's programs to involve parents, and the challenges faced by the teachers in involving parents in their children's education. Following Miles' and Huberman's (1994) model of Interactive Qualitative Data Analysis combined with Epstein's et al. (2002) types of parental involvement at school, the present study revealed that 1) all the six types of parental involvement’s in Epstein’s model were identified with an average of moderate frequency; 2) Seven programs were designed to involve the parents, namely, parenting seminar, class conference, WhatsApp Group discussion, Guest teacher, interactive project, field trip, and collaboration with English-speaking community; 3) there were moderate challenges in involving parents in communicating with the schools, in decision making, and in enrolling the parents in the school activities. This implies that there should be more deliberate effort from the parents in inclusive schools to be more involved in their children’s education, while schools should relentlessly initiate and inspire more intensive parental involvements in the schools’ program.
