First thing, to try to understand what we as parents are going through on a daily bases! To realize that the parents could just might have health problems as well!
Do not treat us like we have no clue, respect goes both ways.
One thing that really irritates me is when educators talk down to me, or laugh at serious issues. They may not be serious to others, but to us or our kids (or both of us) these issues are important.
I am going through something at this moment with one of the schools my kids go to....Light my fire and I do not put it out so fast. In other words I will try and try to deal with educators, but when no one listens I get real frustrated and if that educator doesn't want what is going on splattered all over the web they will have to get along and be professional. Since of course most educators have chosen this field. Parents learn as we go....

Provide the parents with educational materials like workbooks, puzzles, that they can do with the child at home to reinforce what they learn during the day at school. Make it specific to certain area like math or reading or whatever, but something parents can do with them (maybe interactive) so it will be more fun and interesting and they will want to do it, and being with family will be more supportive.

When the parent is the one who knows their child's learning needs, but they can not afford the teaching tools, schools should allow for the sharing of funds to support parents attempt to teach further at home.

The job of educators is to TEACH THE STUDENT. If they do that--if the children learn what they should learn--that is the best supporteducators can provide.

1.To follow the federal special ed laws called IDEA
2.To follow their own state special ed laws
3. Quit lying, cheating on the kids special ed eligibility tests, and blaming child for their own problems
4. Quit being intimidating, hostile, toward parents
5. Let teachers help the children instead of tying their hands and making them keep their mouth shut
6.Quit spending thousands and thousands of taxpayers dollars (the parents money) on lawyers to fight parents because they don't want to help their children. They use the parents own money to fight them.

Be understanding of the student. He/she learns differently than "normal" students.
If there is an IEP, follow it.
Keep in contact with the parents.
