Paraprofessional Day Treatment - Part Time

The therapeutic paraprofessional’s primary responsibility is to provide support for the implementation of an appropriate academic program that is in accordance with district standards, assist with modifications allowed by the individualized education plans, and assist with classroom instruction and behavioral management.  This position is emotionally intensive and requires a steady, calm, and consistent mannerism.  Routine processing of student behaviors with the teacher and therapist is a primary responsibility so that the behaviors can be evaluated and a plan of action towards those behaviors can be developed and implemented. The therapeutic paraprofessional spends 70% of the time in therapeutic duties and 30% of the time in academic duties.
