Role of Parents and Families in Special Needs Education
Parents and families are integral partners in Special Needs Education, contributing to the development and implementation of educational plans. Their active participation supports students’ learning experiences both at school and at home, reinforcing strategies that promote individual growth and merit-based success.
A parent attending IEP meetings and collaborating with teachers can provide valuable insights into the student’s strengths and needs. By reinforcing learning strategies at home, families enhance the effectiveness of educational interventions, supporting their child’s measurable progress.
While acknowledging the collaborative efforts in Special Needs Education, it is essential to address the challenges that may impede its effectiveness and the achievement of merit-based outcomes.
