Parental Involvement Case Scenario
Read the following scenario:
Adam is a fifth-grader diagnosed with a learning disability who receives instruction for all core subjects in the resource room with the special education teacher. He resides with his elderly grandparents who have full custody of him, while his older sister who was born with severe complications from fetal alcohol syndrome resides in a facility where she receives around-the-clock care. Adam does not have any contact with his biological mother and never knew his biological father. His grandparents are the only caregivers he has ever known and they are overwhelmed and feel unprepared to adequately address Adam's increased oppositional behaviors and lack of academic progress. They are reluctant to meet with any school personnel as they feel the school should take care of school matters while they take care of the home matters.
Based on the provided scenario, complete a chart utilizing the following:
1. Describe five items from the scenario affecting the level of parental involvement.
2. For every item in column 1, describe the ideal level of parental involvement.
3. Specify strategies and actions to be implemented to achieve the ideal level of parental involvement described in column 2.
4. Identify technologies to be implemented in connection with column 3.
In addition, submit a 250-500-word rationale that describes how the actions you propose in your chart support Adam's physical and emotional well-being. Support your rationale with a minimum of 2 scholarly resources.
