Value of attitude of parents in the involvement in early intervention of children with disability in Nigeria

Original language description

The most effective aspect of an early intervention for children with disability is the values of attitude toward their intervention by parents as early as possible. This has a great impact on such a child development because, for early intervention to be successful, parents must have a value of attitude that is positive in their child's with disability intervention. Values of attitude is the mental representation that shapes the different attitude affecting parents reaction at the news of the birth or diagnosis of their child's with disability. The aim of this paper is to describe the value of attitude of parents in their involvement in early intervention of children with disability in Nigeria. To achieve this, simple descriptive statistic was adopted for the study. The participant were mainly professionals involved in the early intervention practice for children with disability and 63% were female while 37% were male. Questionnaire, unstructured interview, and literature review served as the study instruments. From the descriptive analysis, result shows that the value of attitude is negative from parents in the involvement in the intervention of their children as early as possible due to the fact that their bundle of joy (child) is having a disability. By so doing, the value expected from parent's attitude is lost, thus leading to parents completely abandon their child's with disability for their grandparents, seeking for faith healers instead of early intervention that could help restore lost value in their attitude toward the child, hiding their child's with disability due to the embarrassment of seeing them with a child's with disability. Thus, they have rejection and not acceptance attitude to early intervention services for their children with disability. From the findings, some recommendations were proffered.
