Parental Involvement

Read the following scenario:
Adam is a fifth-grader diagnosed with a learning disability who   receives instruction for all core subjects in the resource room with   the special education teacher.  He resides with his elderly   grandparents who have full custody of him, while his older sister who   was born with severe complications from fetal alcohol syndrome resides   in a facility where she receives around-the-clock care. Adam does not   have any contact with his biological mother and never knew his   biological father. His grandparents are the only caregivers he has   ever known and they are overwhelmed and feel unprepared to adequately   address Adam’s increased oppositional behaviors and lack of   academic progress. They are reluctant to meet with any school   personnel as they feel the school should take care of school matters   while they take care of the home matters.

Based on the provided scenario, complete a chart utilizing the following:

Describe five items from the scenario affecting the level of     parental involvement.
For every item in column 1, describe     the ideal level of parental involvement.
Specify     strategies and actions to be implemented to achieve the ideal level     of parental involvement described in column 2.
Identify     technologies to be implemented in connection with column 3.

In addition, submit a 250-500-word rationale that describes how the   actions you propose in your chart support Adam’s physical and   emotional well-being. Support your rationale with a minimum of 2   scholarly resources.
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the   APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is   not required. APA guidelines are to be followed for rationale.
