Yet, in Quebec, very few places available are actually occupied by these children. Their low representation in these environments could be due to the educators’ beliefs, which may also influence their adaptation. The goal of the present study is to explore the perspective of educators regarding the adjustment of 173 children from a clinical population. Educators’ responses to the question “Does the child benefit from the daycare?” were coded as positive, nuanced, or negative. The children’s social competence was assessed by the Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation scale (SCBE; LaFrenière et al., 1995). Most perceptions were positive (71%). Analysis of the factors influencing educators’ perceptions revealed a significant association with social competence and child diagnosis, but not with type of daycare. Thus, the educators mostly perceive integration of children with special needs positively.</p> ER -
