From the Paper:

"The U.S. Department of Education report states that the work of Bos et al (1999) "reported that collaborative partnerships between home and school were especially important during the initial assessment of the child's disability and educational needs, the development of behavior modification plans, the evaluations of medication, and the coordination of assignments. Parents and teachers can share information with one another if they work together to plan behavioral and academic strategies for the student. Parents can offer information about the child--including the child's medical history, hobbies and interests, effective reinforcers, and behavior in other settings--that may inform the decisions made by the teacher and other members of the IEP team.
