Key Points

To examine parental attitudes toward inclusive education and assess their perceptions of inclusive teaching practices and resources across different disability types.
Analyzed cross-sectional data from the representative nationwide German JAKO-O survey comprising N=2000 parents.
Collected responses using digitally recorded semi-structured telephone interviews.
Assessed outcomes across regular versus inclusive classrooms using descriptive statistics and regression analysis.
Parents reported positive attitudes toward including students with physical or learning disabilities, but maintained neutral attitudes toward students with behavioral disorders or mental disabilities.
Parents whose children attended inclusive classes reported observing more inclusive teaching practices than those with children in regular classes, with no differences observed in perceived resources.
Regression analysis indicated that the significant predictors of parental attitudes toward inclusion vary depending on the specific type of student disability.
