This article from the Brookings Institution points out that, “For many families of children with disabilities, being involved in their child’s learning and school is a must.”
The article explores what we can learn from families of children with disabilities about inclusive family, school, and community engagement. Among the principles it outlines are:
- Position families as allies to foster proactive collaboration
- Collectively break barriers to strengthen partnerships
- Dedicate time and effort to building relational trust
- Facilitate intentional conversations on how to build strong family, school, and community partnerships.
