Most of us think a great school or teacher guarantees success for our kids. But here’s the real secret: parental involvement is the game-changer—especially in inclusive education settings. Whether it’s reading a bedtime story, checking in about their day, or understanding your child’s IEP, your presence matters more than you think.
???? What is Parental Engagement?
It’s not just about showing up for meetings—it’s about partnering with your child in their learning journey. For kids with special needs, this can mean being their voice, advocate, and biggest cheerleader.
???? Why It Matters for Inclusive Education?
When parents are involved:
-
Kids feel supported and confident
-
Teachers can tailor learning better
-
IEPs turn into action, not just paperwork
???? Real Stories, Real Impact:
From a Delhi mom who pushed for sensory-friendly classrooms to a rural Karnataka school that became a model for inclusion—parents are driving change.
???? Overcoming the Challenges:
It’s not always easy. But small steps—like setting a study routine, talking to teachers, or joining a workshop—can have a big impact. And you don’t have to do it alone.
???? How the Unessa Foundation Helps:
