Behind the child that makes the most progress is an actively involved
school and parent!
The above quote is so rightly emphasizing the need and a sure-shot
formula for a winning environment for any child. We do not have to make any
separate mention as it is true for a special needs child as well. A child who
has a parent or a school working with him finds constant support at home and
school. Transcending learning or bridging learning both at home
and school is very important for both stakeholders the parent
and the school for holistic development.
The appreciation for something that is done right, a pat on the back
" I know you tried", it's okay, let's try again should resonate both
on the teachers' side and from the primary caretakers' side. Best practice
replication, positive reinforcement, and consequences lead to progress if the school
and the parent are on the same page.
Success is two steps forward and one step back. The idiom means to
express a task in which at least some of the effort is spent redoing some part
of the process due to undesirable outcomes of previous or current steps. When you
want to accomplish something useful, there are often obstacles.
Here you need to research and figure out what is going wrong if you are
unsuccessful. You need to re-evaluate what you are doing. Similarly, it is
important to understand the goal for your child to work together and understand
and be on the same page and take the necessary steps
Parents know their children better than anyone else. Your child’s
teachers will want to get to know your child too.
With a strong and respectful relationship between you and your child's
school and teachers, you'll be in an excellent position to assist them in
helping your child succeed. To support your child's learning and well-being,
you can work together with his or her teacher.
Your child is likely to reap academic and social benefits when everyone
works together in his or her best interest:

It is still possible for parents to give their children the impression
that school is important to them, even when they can't spend as much time at
school as they would like. The more you talk to your child about school,
attend school events with warmth and friendliness, and speak positively about
the staff and the school, the more you show your child how important education is to you.
It's All in the Balance.
