| Summary |
"With cultural reciprocity, administrators, teachers, and staff can work successfully with all families. In this engaging book, actual case studies take readers into the lives of eight families to show how employing a posture of cultural reciprocity to build a framework for relationships helps strengthen interactions between professional and parents or care-givers." "With this text, educators and professionals will be more prepared to meet the needs of every student while respecting individual beliefs, even when these beliefs conflict with the culture of special education. And they will be able to give parents a deeper understanding of this culture of special education, empowering them to make informed decisions about their children's future."--Jacket. |
