Parents have always played a crucial role in the lives of their children. Parents support their children in everything that they do from childhood all the way up to high school, university and beyond life. There is a need for parents to get engaged to their children before, during and after school. This study examines the impacts of parental involvement in the lives of students with disabilities in their learning in United States Public schools. By analyzing data from multiple sources including teacher surveys, and school performance metrics, this research identifies crucial parental involvement and challenges faced by students whose parents are partially or not involved at all in their children’s education. Current research indicates that parental involvement contributes to students’ academic performance. Having parent’s involvement fosters a sense of belonging to both students with disabilities and their non-disabled peers. This paper aims to uncover factors affecting academic performance. The research underscores the importance of parental involvement and their role in academic journeys. By visiting, checking in regularly through calls, mails, classroom platforms and offering encouragement can play a crucial role in ensuring their children thrive academically.
