Abstract: The present study examined parental opinions of a structured functional curriculum for
children who have significant intellectual disabilities. Parents from the Winston-Salem
Forsyth County School District in North Carolina whose children were involved in a new
structured functional curriculum were asked to participate in this study and provide their
opinion regarding the current curriculum. A significant relationship was found between
parent familiarity with the curriculum and overall satisfaction with the program. There
were no significant differences in parent opinions based on grade level of child or amount
of time their child spent in a general education classroom. Further research is needed in
order to obtain more information regarding parent opinions of their child’s curriculum.
