RESEARCH REPORT ON CHILDREN AND SCHOOLING
Executive summary
The chief objective of the report was to analyze two articles on the topic ‘Children and
Schooling’. The first article was Facilitating children's transition to school from families with
complex support needs by Dockett et al. (2011) and the second article was The transition to
school: Adaptation in young children with and without intellectual disability by McIntyre,
Blacher and Baker (2006). In the report, the research paradigm, methodology, research question
and aim and the outcomes, strengths and limitations were discussed thoroughly. The report also
discussed the implications of both the studies on the transition of young children coming from
families with complex supports need and children with and without intellectual disability (ID) to
school.
