Paraprofessionals provide instructional SUPPORT—but what does that actually mean?
Karen breaks down an important distinction in special education: Paraprofessionals support instruction, but they are not automatically substitutes for qualified special education teachers.
Federal regulations allow appropriately trained and supervised paraprofessionals to assist in providing special education and related services.
Parents, ask WHO is delivering your child's instruction and HOW that instruction is being supervised!
Understanding these roles helps ensure your child's IEP services are being implemented appropriately.
