Abstract
The purpose of the study was to understand a mother’s perspective about raising children with disabilities. This was a unique case study because the mother was a highly educated advocate in the special education profession and the process was very educational for the researcher. A detailed description of the methodology is provided to encourage new researchers and doctoral candidates to study the area of parental perspectives in special education using participant-observer case studies.
