Abstract
Family engagement in the individualized education program (IEP) process is a core tenant under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004. Central to family engagement is the use of strategies which promote family-school partnerships. Many of these strategies are addressed through the use of high leverage practices (HLPs) in special education. This chapter explores how HLPs can be conceptualized to promote family engagement in the IEP process, from development to implementation. Concrete, practitioner focused strategies and resources are provided to aid schools in fostering positive and collaborative relationships with families to ensure students are able to access the necessary support and service to make progress in their education.
