ABSTRACT
For a successful remote learning experience for children with learning challenges and disabilities, parent engagement is crucial. Involvement, mutual decision making, collaboration, and ongoing communication are essential for the child’s success. Parents and educators should work as a coordinated, supportive team to create a home school partnership built around the child’s success. Considering the outlined guiding principles and relationship-building strategies, educators should prioritize home school partnerships while respecting families’ diverse structure and needs. Keeping the partnership focused on the child is essential. Chapter 4 intends to share successful strategies to encourage parent engagement and partnerships to add to a sense of stability and consistency in the sometimes unpredictable landscape of remote learning.
