Report
Parents can often provide crucial information about their children's strengths, weaknesses, needs, preferences, and interests, which is essential for developing effective transitional components. Parents have a role to play in the lives of their children. Frequently, the most important people who can articulate clear and attainable outcomes for the child's future are their parents. When their children are unable to speak for themselves, parents advocate on their behalf. As a result, parents are the children's advocates in many areas, such as medication, education, and social life. Advocacy typically begins when the child is still a young child. Education services are available in the country, but parents decide to advocate when they think their children are not getting what they need. Parents are an important part of their children's educational team because they always want the best for their children (Austin, 2000). I thought that parents should be taught how to teach and advocate for their children because I was a special education advocate. They are, of course, advocates for their children, but they must also allow them to face life. I will suggest online tutoring for parents or guardians who want to learn more about how to teach and advocate for their children. As parents or guardians, we consider children to be the most valuable possession we can keep, and they are. However, if we do not overcome limitations, advocating for children will become a real problem. Meeting with parents individually or in groups and organizing events to develop advocacy skills are two examples of partnerships that can be formed to teach parents how to advocate for their children. Strong collaborations between schools and parents of students with disabilities go beyond fostering a welcoming environment. According to research, a strong bond between parents and the school helps students succeed. Additionally, schools and parents are required to collaborate on the creation of an individualized education program for disabled students (Samuels, 2021). References Austin, J. F. (2020).
