Supporting Families Beyond Accommodations

Monday February 8, 2027 11:45am - 12:30pm EST

Explore current research on parent experiences raising children with high-incidence disabilities and examine emerging findings from a qualitative study of parents navigating support within private middle schools. Identify the challenges families experience when seeking accommodations, collaborating with educators, and advocating for their children in independent school settings. Discover how trust, communication, transparency, and shared problem-solving influence family-school partnerships. Reflect on ways independent schools can strengthen systems of support while maintaining their unique missions and cultures. Participants will leave with practical strategies for improving collaboration with families, increasing parent trust, and creating more responsive educational environments for students with learning differences.
