Quantitative data was gathered from administration of the questionnaire with staff. A series of interviews and focus groups based around the themes from the questionnaire were also conducted with staff and parents of disabled children. The questionnaire data were analyzed with SPSS 16 for descriptive statistics. Interview and focus group data were analyzed using a template and editing approach Results and conclusions: The mean of ‘interpersonal sensitivity’ was 5.35 and ‘respect’ 5.74 compared to ‘providing general information’ 4.34 and ‘communicating’ 4.96.
