This course provides educators with specific guidance to address almost any issue involving one-to-one aides for children with autism and communicate effectively with their parents. It outlines the factors that should go into a district’s determination of whether a child requires a dedicated aide as well as alternative accommodations and supports to consider. The course also explains essential steps to ensuring that aides provide the one-to-one services identified in a child's IEP without making the child overly dependent.
