The school situation for pupils with autism and ADHD : a parent's perspective (English)
Abstract [sv]

Skolvägran hos barn med autism är vanligare än hos neurotypiska barn (Munkhaugen et al.,2017) och barn med ADHD riskerar att inte nå godkänt betyg i skolan (Jangmo et al., 2019). Lärares bristande kunskaper om NPF samt otillräckliga anpassningar i skolan har lyfts somorsaker till detta (Anderson, 2020).

Denna kvantitativa studie hade som syfte att få svar på hur föräldrar till elever medautism och/eller ADHD i mellanstadieåldern uppfattar att skolan fungerar överlag för derasbarn, samt vilka faktorer som har störst inverkan och korrelation med denna upplevelse.Däribland frånvaro, lärares- och skollednings kunskap om NPF, förståelse från skolpersonal,andra elevers bemötande samt anpassningar i skolan. Kön, skolform, medicinering och typ avdiagnos har också funnits med som variabler och kunnat kontrolleras för eventuell inverkanpå hur skolan upplevs fungera överlag.

Studien har gjorts via en webbaserad enkät där deltagarna (n=144) rekryterats medbekvämlighetsurval.

Resultaten visar att lärares- och skollednings kunskap om NPF, samt frånvarosignifikant korrelerar med hur skolan bedöms fungera överlag. Detta ger en indikation på attflera lärare saknar adekvat kunskap om autism och ADHD och att en kunskapshöjning inomdessa områden behövs. 

Abstract [en]

School absenteeism is more common for children with autism than neurotypical developingchildren (Munkhaugen et al., 2017) and children with ADHD risk not reaching a passinggrade (Jangmo et al., 2019). Teacher’s lack of knowledge about neurodevelopmentaldisorders and insufficient adaptation strategies in school have been highlighted as a reason(Anderson, 2020).

The purpose of this quantitative study was to obtain answers to how parents ofchildren with autism and/or ADHD perceive how school works in general, and what factorshave the greatest impact and correlation with that experience. Factors examined areabsenteeism, teacher and school management knowledge of autism and/or ADHD,understanding from school staff, attitude from other pupils and adaptations in school. Gender,type of school, medical treatment and type of diagnosis (autism/ADHD) are additionalvariables that have been able to be examined on their impact on the overall schoolexperience.

The data was collected through an online survey where the participants (n=144) wererecruited with a convenience sample.

The results show that teacher and school management's knowledge of autism and/orADHD, as well as absence, significantly correlates with how the school is judged to functionoverall. This indicates that an increase in knowledge among existing teachers who lackadequate knowledge about autism and ADHD is required.
