Paraprofessionals CAN support special education—but supervision matters!
Under IDEA 34 CFR §300.156, paraprofessionals and assistants must be appropriately trained and supervised when assisting in providing special education and related services.

Parents, don't just ask WHO is working with your child. Ask WHO is supervising them and HOW!
