Perhaps one of the most underused resources in speech-language programs within school settings has been the family. Parent involvement in speech-language services offered in schools traditionally has been very limited. Enactment of Public Law 94-142 was an effort to change this through mandating the inclusion of parents in Individual Education Planning meetings, yearly reviews of progress, and treatment prescription. In practice, however, parent involvement often remains restricted to administrative and legal details and receiving progress updates as opposed to actual participation in the child's treatment program. Although most speech-language pathologists believe that family involvement would facilitate progress and many parents are interested in participating in remediation programs, 1 few guidelines or models for parent involvement within school settings are found in the speech-language pathology literature. A model that takes into account the workload demands in the school setting, which is practical in its implementation and which offers a way to interact effectively with parents, is needed to enact the desire for family participation.The purpose of this article is threefold. First, a rationale for parent involvement in communication management programs will be developed. Second, a specific model of consultation with techniques for establishing a cohesive, collaborative relationship between the parents and the speech-language pathologist will be presented. Third, prototypes of practical home-language facilitation principles will be offered.
