Abstract
Obtaining academic support beyond standard classroom instruction should be within reach for any school student in need. The active participation of parents in efforts to secure this support is essential but can feel overwhelming for parents who are unfamiliar with the internal procedures of the school system or the educational access rights that are available for students. School Psychologists are specially trained to help parents and families understand the needs of their children and to help them develop strategies for more effective collaboration. Choice Theory provides a conceptual model for understanding and empowering parents and students to get their needs met within the context of school systems.
