Family-teacher collaboration is an important factor in the success of students with disabilities. Through partnering with families as help-givers, teachers have the unique chance to support students with disabilities and their families by collaborating and providing an open communication environment that will better support and enhance the students' overall development.

The 5-Point Plan consists of 5 strategies where the goal is to improve family-teacher interactions by providing specific actions teachers can take to achieve the goal of positive, collaborative relationships with families of students with disabilities.
