  In Roundtable Session: Emerging Resolutions for Classroom Management Issues

Abstract

Parents of students with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) are presented with challenges not only from their child, but from the public schools. Research suggests that effective school/family partnerships are crucial for successful classroom management and education of children with disabilities. Unfortunately, for our family participants of children with RAD, effective partnerships with the schools was lacking.
