FREE WEBINAR: Best Practices for Paraprofessionals and Appropriately Supporting Students (Closed)

IEP teams make important decisions regarding individual student needs, corresponding class placements, and supports; schools frequently rely on hiring paraprofessionals to provide services for these students. This webinar will provide a discussion of criteria to consider when including students in less restrictive settings, determining if a 1:1 paraprofessional is appropriate, and the associated training of paraprofessional staff. The presenter will discuss user-friendly ways to make data-based decisions and determine student needs across the day. The goal of increasing student independence will be emphasized by discussing ways to introduce and fade supports and to monitor progress.
