Abstract

Parent engagement has long been recognized as contributing to the success of student success in the school setting. While various opportunities exist for students living in a stable environment with parents or caregivers, the experiences of children whose parents are incarcerated have not been afforded as much attention or concern. The following article identifies challenges these children face daily and suggests individualized and holistic strategies that may be adapted to meet the needs of this unique population.
