PARENT AND TEACHER RELATIONSHIPS ON AUTISTIC CHILDREN

Every individual with autism is a member of society. Autistic children should not be kept away from society, on the contrary, they should be taken to parks, played with, taken on the bus, eaten out, walked around and socialized, just like other parents do. They too need to learn about normal life and to get used to and adapt to it. They can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the child and develop more effective strategies for supporting them.

Holistic support: Autistic children often require a range of supports, including academic, social, and emotional. A successful parent-teacher relationship can facilitate collaboration across these domains and ensure that the child is receiving comprehensive support.

The relationship between parents and teachers can play a significant role in the development of autistic children. Both parents and teachers have unique perspectives on the child’s abilities and challenges, and collaboration between them can lead to more effective support for the child.

There are some ways in which a successful parent-teacher relationship can benefit autistic children:

Consistent approach: When parents and teachers work together, they can ensure that the child is receiving consistent support and interventions. This can be particularly helpful for autistic children, who often thrive on routine and predictability.

Better understanding of the child: Parents and teachers may have different insights into the child’s strengths, challenges, and preferences. When they share information and collaborate,

Improved outcomes: Research suggests that parental involvement in education is associated with better outcomes for children, including improved academic achievement, behavior, and social-emotional development. When parents and teachers work together, they can maximize the potential for positive outcomes for the child.

Consequently, when parents and teachers have strong relationships, children get many academic and social benefits. A strong partnership between parents and teachers can help to create a positive and supportive environment for autistic children to learn and grow. The role of the family in school success is to adopt the right parental attitudes, to cooperate with the school and to support the child morally and materially.
