the roile of the family/teacher partnership in the provision of services for the child with special needs?

Answer 1

You as a parent know things I don't know or don't see at school. As a teacher, I may see things from the perspective that I've had kids similar and found a way to teach them which also may work for your kid.
Together we can show the kid we are working together to see he/she become successful. Kids know if parents and teacher respect each other and often feel secure in their collaborative caring.
If we don't communicate well, the kid will pick up on it and play one of us against the other, or be confused to whom he should listen to.

Answer 2

The family and the teacher have to work together to provide the best possible education and atmosphere for the child. The family needs to keep the teacher informed of daily events in the child's life. Did the child get enough sleep and so on. The teacher needs to communicate daily with the parents about the day at school and always have an open line of communication.

Answer 3

Very important!!!! The family has to take steps to be very informed/educated about the child's special needs and legal rights. Believe me, I have been there. The teachers don't always see the special needs, they just chalk it up to behaviour problems. Get informed, be your child's advocate. If the door slams in your face, climb through a window. Do not back down if what you desire is in your child's best interest. I had to threaten lawsuits on more than one occasion for my child to receive the education she needed. Hopefully, your child will get an understanding teacher that will work with you. Go to the IEP meetings. Be active!!! Good luck....
