Education On-Demand - Together we go far: Teaming with paraprofessionals to support learners with autism (VCU Autism Center for Education)

Description:

Register for Together we go far: Teaming with paraprofessionals to support learners with autism - Special education is a team endeavor, and paraprofessionals are essential to this team. Most paraprofessionals receive their training on the job, and often by the special education teacher. Unfortunately, most special education teachers were not taught how to supervise, coach, and collaborate with paraprofessionals during their training. This presentation aims to provide special education teachers with knowledge and skills in supervising and coaching paraprofessionals to implement evidence-based practices with students with autism and other disabilities.
