Parents of students with severe disabilities and the students themselves are directly impacted when a 1:1 para professional is serving the student on a daily basis. Over the last 40 years little quality research has examined the critical role and accountability of the 1:1 para. This presentation explores the ways parents, with assistance from their child, can make informed requests for quality trained paras, as well as strategies to monitor the degree of support that best encourages the student?s growth and independence.
