This study examines the aspirations of children with disabilities in attending school and their tendency to drop out of school. This study answers the question of how disabilities influence aspirations to attend school in relation to the tendency to drop out of school. Data were collected through interviews and observations of three children with disabilities who dropped out of school and three children with disabilities who do not. Data were analysed using the techniques of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the aspirations of attending school were influenced by three considerations: targets, results of risk factor analysis, and social responses. The social response shows the most dominant attention because it is often manifested by support (friendship) or obstacles (intimidation and discrimination). If the social response is positive, then the aspirations of going to school will increase, which affects the sustainability of children in school.[Penelitian ini mengkaji aspirasi anak difabel untuk bersekolah dan kecenderungannya untuk putus sekolah. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara dan observasi kepada tiga anak difabel yang putus sekolah, dan tiga anak difabel yang (masih) bersekolah. Data dianalisis menggunakan teknik reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aspirasi bersekolah dipengaruhi oleh tiga pertimbangan, yaitu: tujuan atau target pembelajaran, hasil analisis faktor risiko, dan respon sosial. Respon sosial menjadi faktor paling dominan karena sering diwujudkan dengan dukungan (ikatan pertemanan) maupun hambatan (intimidasi dan diskriminasi). Jika respon sosial bersifat positif, maka aspirasi bersekolah akan meningkat, yang berdampak pada keberlanjutan anak dalam bersekolah.]

Many books and articles have been written regarding why students drop out of school, along with numerous suggestions for how to address this nationwide problem, but none has provided detailed directions for actually going into a school and beginning the task of tackling this challenging problem.

The chapter provides new school social workers with practical information about how they can make themselves indispensable to school administrators. Social workers must collaborate with administrators and fully understand their roles within the district because these leaders directly impact the social worker’s tasks and duties. Social workers are advised to learn about the organizational structure of the district and the roles of the school board, the superintendent, and principals. They should observe the leadership styles displayed by administrators and learn what their goals are and what data they need from the social worker. The chapter details a practical plan for developing and nurturing working relationships with administrators, along with strategies for linking the social worker’s goals with those of administrators.

Social workers are like anyone else in that there are people to whom they are drawn and others toward whom they develop negative feelings. Some clients have engaged in behaviors so repulsive that almost anyone would feel uncomfortable in their presence, but there are others who simply “push the buttons” of social workers in ways that are unique to each of them. The purposes of this chapter are to recognize that social workers may have difficulty experiencing empathy for some clients and to consider how they can transcend that barrier to develop positive working relationships with them. Three sources of negative feelings are considered: client rejection of the social worker, client violation of social norms, and unconscious practitioner reactions.
