Sped Teacher Small Talk: The Importance of Parent Relationships


Listen Later

Talk about a tear jerker!

Today Paul, my monthly co-host, and I discuss the importance of developing strong, lasting relationships with the parents of the students we work with.

Paul shares an emotional story about a the bond he has with a previous student and her mom that conveys the amount of love special education teachers have for their students.

Paul and I both agree that, by establishing active collaboration and open communication between parents and educators, we can positively impact a student's progress and minimize issues on the parent's end.

Throughout the discussion, we provide valuable tips for:

  • Effective communication before, during, and after Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings
  • Strategies for building trust and partnerships, fostering open lines of communication, and valuing parents' input
  • Addressing the importance of providing parents with relevant resources and information and
  • Celebrating successes and milestones regularly

Join us in this episode as we discuss how strengthening parent-educator relationships can create a supportive environment and positively impact the special education journey.
