“…Parent expectations have also been linked to children’s academic achievement (Zhang et al, 2011); school engagement (Christenson & Carlson, 2005; Simons-Morton & Chen, 2009); student’s involvement and active participation in Individual Education Program (IEP)/transition planning meetings (Wagner et al, 2012); and college attendance, adjustment, and achievement (Agliata & Renk, 2008; Kim & Schneider, 2005).
