What Does IDEA Say About Paraprofessional Qualifications?


Can paraprofessionals support special education teachers? ABSOLUTELY!

But what does IDEA actually say about their qualifications?

Karen highlights 34 CFR §300.156, which addresses personnel qualifications, including requirements for paraprofessionals and related service personnel.

Paraprofessionals play an important role in supporting students, but they must be appropriately trained and supervised in accordance with state requirements.

Parents, knowing WHO supports your child and HOW they're supervised matters!
