Assessments should addresss support systems, pathology, evironmental components, community resources, and assessibility to professionals.
Parents should co-chair the team of professionals working with their child. Bashing, humiliating, and focusing on a parents poor parenting skills won't make them PTA president. However, providing parents with a peer parent networking system may engage the parent and increase positive visibility in their child's school and life.
Schools have so many programs targeting parental involement and it's disheartening when 2-3 parents show at PTA. Parents come with an entourage to school to clear suspensions and ready to fight the school staff..
