FAMILY SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS FOR ST...

This book presents a collection of research-based  effective  and culturally responsive
practices that are used in schools and communities to support and empower families of students
with disabilities to be equal partners for schools. As the demographics of the U.S. population
become increasingly diverse  the U.S. Census Bureau projects that  by 2044  more than half of
the U.S. population will belong to a minority group. Currently  students from diverse
backgrounds comprise over 53% of the special education student population. While their parents
are the key decision makers and advocates who ensure that they receive services and support
that address their individual needs  research consistently indicates that families from diverse
backgrounds face many challenges that prevent them from taking on these active roles.Along with
the improvements in the U.S. since the enactment of its first special education law in 1975 
other parts of the world are also making changes to their special education systems in terms of
responding to the diverse needs of children and students with disabilities and their families.
This book also shares research-based and effective practices from other countries. The studies
presented employ both qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate
family-school-community partnerships.
