The development of the skills acquired in school by continuing in the parent environment is important for the continuity and success of education. For this reason, in this study, it was aimed to evaluate family participation in inclusive programs implemented in primary schools according to the opinions of teachers. The research is designed as a case study which is one of the qualitative research methods. The study was conducted with 8 class teachers working in primary schools in central districts of Adana in the 2018-2019 academic year. The data of the research were collected by using semi-structured interview technique which is one of the qualitative data collection techniques. The data obtained from the interview were carried out with the MaxQda 12 program using deductive content analysis method. As a result of the study, the teachers stated that family participation was insufficient. The teachers emphasized that it is important to continue the education given at the school at home setting, to accept the situation of the parents and to keep the families in contact with the teachers. The teachers also pointed out that education is limited only by school and financial difficulties are a big issue since the families are unconscious and uneducated. Another important problem expressed by the teachers is that, as a result of the families' not participating in the education process, some problems might come out such as difficulties in social relationship, harm to others, self-harm, aggressiveness and deficiency of self-confidence. It was emphasized that education should be given primarily to families in order to increase participation.
