Abstract
Home-school collaboration can impact the academic achievement of children with disabilities. The following terms describe home-school collaboration: collaborative home-school partnerships, parent involvement, and participation. Highlighting the benefits and barriers to home-school collaboration could be essential when discussing the concept of parent engagement. In addition, school leaders can leverage the support of various stakeholders to build partnerships and provide opportunities for parents to implement strategies such as (1) parent implemented interventions (PII), (2) effective communication, (3) shared decision-making, and (4) cultural responsiveness. To ensure effective implementation of PII, school leaders could create infrastructures (i.e., mentoring and coaching, use of digital technologies) in their buildings to foster strong home-school collaboration. Finally, the authors emphasized how joyful teaching by educators and willing collaboration by stakeholders could transfer to joyful learning for the population of students with disabilities and their caregivers.
