The purpose of this study was to explore the parents' attitudes toward and opinions on the "Home-Bound Instruction (HBI)" program. The target population was parents of disabled children participating in the HBI program in Taiwan area. One half of the target population (N=1,089) was randomly selected as the sample to answer a questionnaire in relating to their children's needs of educational placement and their comments on the HBI program in general. As a result, 967 subjects (or 89%) of the target sample were available. The major findings were as follows: 1.Most parents were aware of and positively recognized the HBI and its itinerary teacher programs. The awareness was increased as the parents' educational level increased. However, there were still about a quarter of subjects who were unsatisfied with the program, because the itinerary teacher didn't show up at all. 2.Most parents were aware of the "Education Subsidies" (NT$ 3,500 or NT$5,500 monthly) through school system; again, the awareness was increased as the parents's educational level in-creased; it was criticized that those who were over school age (i.e., over 15) were nor illegible for applying for the subsidies even they were still in the HBI program; one half of the subjects wished it increased. 3.The major reasons that their children failed to attend school were: their disabilities were too severe and the school settings were not accommodated; they were so severe that only few parents had attempted to look for institutional care. 4.It was hoped that itinerant services be provided on weekdays either in the morning or in the afternoon, at least once a week. 5.The most needed services of the children with severe disabilities and who failed to attend school were: medical rehabilitation, arrangement of institutional care, individual instruction, and parent counseling. Based on the findings of this study, suggestions of improving educational placement and providing better services for children with severe/multiple disabilities were discussed.
