Paraprofessionals play a critical role in supporting students with disabilities in inclusive settings, yet their roles and responsibilities are often not clearly articulated or understood by those with whom they work.  Through the use of case studies and user-friendly handouts, this workshop will focus on how paraprofessionals can collaborate with school personnel to provide evidence-based practices to support a diverse range of students.  The use of self-management strategies will be reviewed.  Emphasis will be on strategies for fading adult supports and facilitating student independence while working toward attaining IEP goals.
