What are the potential cultural differences that influence school–family partnerships? Name one cultural difference and provide an example to illustrate your point.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary but should include the following:
• differing ways of interpreting disabilities
• variations in societal perceptions
• ways in which families rely on different sources of family support
• differing beliefs about the causes of disabilities
• differing viewpoints about the best strategies for intervention
Students should provide relevant examples to the cultural difference. For example, students may address the label of autism that may not exist in the parents’ native culture, as an illustration of “differing ways of interpreting disabilities.”
