Explain ways that schools can help children with special needs beyond the legally mandated requirements.
What will be an ideal response?
In addition to legally mandated involvement of families of children with special needs, families should be included and supported in many other ways. Exchange of relevant information between teachers and families will help both to better understand and work with the child. The school’s philosophy of focusing on commonalities rather than on differences among children should also provide support for families. Sometimes families of children with special needs are so centered on the disability that they do not have a clear perspective on the other aspects of the child’s development; families can be helped to see just how similar their child is to other children. By recognizing the unique strengths and needs of each family, teachers can be the best possible resource by listening sensitively and openly, offering practical recommendations and support, and helping to maximize each child’s potential.
