A qualitative study approach was used to explore students with disabilities&#8217; perspectives of parental support and the impact it has on their academic performance.This qualitative study purposively selected eight participants. They were subjected to semi-structured, open-ended, one-on-one interviews, and these interviews were recorded using an audio recorder with their permission. The collected data was analysed using thematic content analysis.Parental support may take numerous forms, including emotional, physical, and financial assistance. As a result, parental support influences academic success and the adjustment of students living with disabilities to their new environment. However, parental knowledge, attitudes, and tolerance of a student&#8217;s disability have been shown to be obstacles to meaningful parental support. This study concludes that for students with disabilities to perform to their maximum potential, parents must be trained and empowered to provide necessary support including motivating their children.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Sithabile Joy  Mntambo (School of Psychology, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban-4000)<\/li>\n<li>Wellington Mthokozisi  Hlengwa (School of Psychology, Howard college Campus, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban-4000)<\/li>\n<li>Jamila Khatoon  Adam (Department of Biomedical and clinical Technology, Durban University of Technology, Durban-4000)<\/li>\n<li>Suresh Babu Naidu Krishna (Durban University of Technology)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>Academic performance, role of parents, university students, students with disability<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Exploring the Perspectives and Parental Roles in the Academic Performance of University Students with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[2080,2153,2081,2082,1614],"class_list":["post-5201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-academic-performance","tag-ajims","tag-role-of-parents","tag-students-with-disability","tag-university-students","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
