Engaging Community Support to Empower Diverse Families of Students With Disabilities (Edutopia)

Description:

Schools can provide parents and caregivers with information about essential services that help their children achieve success.

There is a positive relationship between family engagement and student performance in school. When families are actively engaged in their children’s academic career, their children are more likely to do well in areas such as academic performance and school behaviors, and to have a positive attitude toward school.
