@larchiba6 It is a great idea to connect students and families with community-based programs that help foster relationships and provide extra learning opportunities outside the school setting. #WesternDLD2

@larchiba6 One thing that a lot of schools already do is parent/teacher interviews. This is a great way to ensure that parents are on track with their child's learning and any concerns are raised early on. #WesternDLD2
@larchiba6 A barrier to parental engagement may be the family's cultural background. Sometimes it doesn't align with the notion of therapy for treatment of different communication disorders. This may prevent parents from going "all in" when it comes to their child's treatment. #WesternDLD2
@larchiba6 Parent engagement is ensuring that parents are not only present and involved but taking an active role in their child's learning. Without active engagement, a child may not know that they have the support that they need to reach their highest potential. #WesternDLD2
