Many researchers have referenced the Epstein’s model framework as the most tested and widely-accepted conceptual model of parental involvement Ringenberg et al., 2009 ). Using the Epstein’s model as an overlapping spheres that share the same concern about the success of a child’s educational path . Epstein’s also identifies six types of educational involvement that can provide support and positive partnership among families, schools, and communities. This model provides the foundational understanding of the structure of parental involvement and also can create an overlapping of Cultural Capital Theory (Ringenberg et al., 2009). This study will examine the need for parental involvement in middle school special education students.
