Abstract	Israel's Bedouin population has a high percentage of children with disabilities, including hearing loss. This study, conducted among Bedouin mothers in Israel's Negev desert, found that the mothers' perception of their child's disability may influence their attitude toward the available educational environments and the child's placement. Children whose mothers perceive their disability as remediable are generally placed by the school system in special needs or mainstream classes in regular schools. Children whose mothers perceive the disability as irremediable are generally placed in special needs schools. However, special needs education for the Bedouin population in Israel's Negev is not developed enough to meet the children's needs. Their parents use these educational arrangements primarily for what they call a "sotra framework"--an environment that protects the child and preserves family honor. (As Provided).
