Best Practices for Involving Parents in Student Interventions • Construct the intervention in collaboration with
parents.
• Include means for reciprocal communication between parents and teachers. • Use interventions with behavioral or cognitive-
behavioral orientations, which are most effective.
• As appropriate, use empirically supported
interventions that provide involvement opportunities
for parents.
• Verify the effectiveness of interventions involving
parents for the cultural and socioeconomic
characteristics of students to whom they are applied.
