Innovative approaches, jointly sharing information, the impact of disabilities on families, the importance of parenting skills, counseling parents, parents as resource individuals, and community interaction are all outlined; and collaborative strategies are highlighted for each of the aforementioned areas.Parenting Skills and Collaborative Services for Students with Disabilities provides information to parents concerning their rights in educating their disabled children and may be used in teaching institutions, public schools, parental groups, and agencies serving disabled individuals.
