One to One Aide. Question

[bubbalicious]

If you are coming over from the bump, you will remember my dd. For those new to her....we have academic difficulties the school hasn't properly addressed. We have numerous IEP meetings.

Our next one is coming up soon and I am working on some stuff. I have a hunch the school wants an one to one aide in the classroom. Does anyone have any research or data to support the social isolation effect?

Thanks!

I would also research learned helplessness/overdependence on paraprofessionals

Another concern is the complex nature of your DD's needs- dialing back the qualifications of her primary source of instruction is counter to her needs.

Very interesting.
