Abstract
This exploration of family-school relationships and conflict specifically applies strategies and prevention models for educational professionals who work with students who receive special education services in a variety of settings, faculty in special education programs in teacher preparation, and administrators and support personnel. A review of the legal provisions regarding families, benefits of conflict prevention, impact of building relationships, and theories about family-school conflict in special education is built using research and evidence-based models for the educational system. After gaining the knowledge and understanding from those resources, the author applies specific solutions and actions paired with examples and advice from current practitioners and stakeholders in order to take down barriers to family-school relationships and promote the prevention of conflict.
