Main description:

Parents can be invaluable partners in identifying students' behavioral and learning needs and developing effective solutions. This book provides practical tools for collaborating with families to achieve the best outcomes for K-12 students. In a large-size format for easy reference and photocopying, the book includes more than 40 ready-to-use reproducibles. School-based mental health professionals will learn how to build positive home/school relationships, actively involve parents in assessment and intervention, and overcome barriers to collaboration. The latest research on what works in treating internalizing, externalizing, and academic difficulties is translated into clear-cut recommendations for practice.

This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.
