SUGGESTIONS FOR EXPLAINING THE DISABILITY DIAGNOSIS
(P. 283-284)
When we inform parents that their child requires specialized education services, we must be sensitive to their perceptions, questions, and need for support. We should take the time to prepare the environment and carefully choose our words. We are expected as professionals to show respect for both the student and the parent, and proper preparation will let the parents know that we are caring and respectful.
