Support Roles in School
As a parent of a child with a disability, you have most likely heard that your child would benefit from the support of an Educational Assistant. Because of this, many parents are requesting support for their child at school by an Educational Assistant (EA). Although EAs play a critical role in our inclusive education system, there are many other individuals in our schools that can support all students. These individuals are so valuable but often under-utilized. During this pre-recorded webinar, we will explore the different support roles available at school for your child and how your child can benefit from receiving support from a variety of individuals.
