Rochelle’s Special Education Tips
With A Little Help From My Friends-Our Instructional Assistants and Paraprofessionals
When developing the Present Levels, in some cases it would be helpful to obtain information from the instructional assistants/paraprofessionals who are providing services to the students. Also, ask them if the accommodations they are implementing are helpful, a waste of time, or being rejected by the student. Get their input on the need for extended time.
In order to get the proper help from the instructional assistants/paraprofessionals, make sure you are reviewing the IEPs and 504 Plans with them. You should actually sit down with them and review the accommodations section of these documents. Provide them with a snapshot of the IEP and take a few minutes to explain it.
