SUMMARY:Empowering Paraprofessionals: Navigating the Intersection of Student Success, Technology, and Supportive Partnerships
UID:20260904T061006-216.73.217.59@techknowledgy.ttaconline.org
TZID:America/New_York
DESCRIPTION:For those of you who train, manage and schedule paraprofessionals who are supporting students who use assistive technologies for communication, visual access, social strategies, and physical access. This session will include information applicable to educators working with paraprofessionals in a wide variety of roles, from early childhood settings to high school, and with students who have a variety of disabilities. Content will apply to working with paraprofessionals who are online, in-home, and those that may also be the student?s parent. Discussion of challenges will include training, tensions, myths, system change, and building capacity. Kelly has personal experience at being a paraprofessional herself, as well as working with classroom-based paraprofessionals in-class, those that are one-on-ones, as well as those that act as therapy aides for speech and occupational departments. This session is an opportunity for participants to understand and explore the critical role of paraprofessionals in promoting student success with materials, strategies, and assistive technologies by supporting them with training and planning.
