個別化教育計畫(簡稱IEP)主要是為了讓身心障礙學生接受適性教育的權利，但這並非單從教師就可以完成的，它仍需要家長的協助才能確切落實。雖然目前國內外法令保障家長參加IEP的權利，但根據一些文獻發現家長參與IEP有些阻礙因素，例如孩子的障礙程度、家長的社經地位、參與態度、家庭支持、家庭壓力、自我能力及學校作法與態度等。針對目前的問題，彙整學者及筆者的經驗，提供促進家長參與IEP的方式，以提升家長參與IEP的效能。

To the problems, the author gathered the experience of scholars and oneself, and offered the ways to promote parents participating in IEP for improving the efficiency.
