The goal of parent and family engagement is to work with families to build strong and effective partnerships that can help children and families thrive. These partnerships are grounded in positive, ongoing, and goal-oriented relationships with families. The relationships are based on mutual respect and trust. They are also developed over time, through a series of interactions between staff and families.

Successful relationships focus on families' strengths. They build on a shared commitment to the child's well-being and success. As relationships between staff and families grow stronger, mutually respectful partnerships are built. Strong partnerships with families contribute to positive and lasting change for families and children.

Explore these resources to learn strategies to strengthen relationships with families.

Explore strategies around talking with a family about their child's development to strengthen your partnerships.

Our group had a question: When all attempts and resources have been exhausted, are programs allowed to help the family find a program who can support their child.

# data[].attributes.body
Our program has supported families in finding alternate care when our program did not fit their needs. We had a child who was to begin receiving ECSE services from their home school district. It was only half day so they could go to both, but our program was not located in their county and the district would not transport outside of their county lines. We helped the family locate and transfer to a different HS program located closer to their home and the district was able to transport the child from the HS center to their ECSE classroom for services.

Engaging Families of Children with Disabilities

Engaging families of children with disabilities is essential to supporting children's learning and development. It is rooted in foundational Head Start resources, including the Parent, Family, and Community Engagement (PFCE) Framework and Relationship-based Competencies to Support Family Engagement.

Learning about the hopes and goals of families of children with disabilities is important. It is equally crucial to communicate to families in culturally and linguistically responsive and appropriate ways. This helps build and strengthen the partnership between you and the family. This strong partnership will support the family's active involvement in the special education process, including screenings, evaluations, Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSP), Individualized Education Plans (IEP), and transitions.

These resources highlight relationship-based practices used to partner with families of children with disabilities, from program entry through the transition to kindergarten.
