The Paraprofessional in Special Education.
McKenzie, Robert G.; Houk, Carolyn S.
Teaching Exceptional Children, v18 n4 p246-52 Sum 1986
The article describes a model of paraprofessional placement in special education. The process involves four steps: (1) assessing needs and skills; (2) comparing role expectations; (3) resolving differences in perceptions of teacher and paraprofessional; and (4) writing individualized job descriptions. A list of resource materials for training paraprofessionals concludes the article. (CL)
