Parents and Schools: Creating a Successful Partnership for Students with Special Needs - Softcover

Reseña del editor

For Families in Special Education courses. The challenges of teaching a child who has a disability are many and varied. Nothing helps the process more than strong collaboration between the child's teachers and the child's parents. This new text is all about creating that collaboration, maintaining it, and using it to help children who have disabilities reach their personal educational potential. The authors take a developmental approach to their subject, focusing on the uniqueness of each family and each child from infancy, through the primary grades, to middle school, high school, and adulthood. Throughout the text, the "voices" of real parents lend authenticity to the material; and the essential role of the family in the education of its children is seen as of paramount importance.
