About the course

If you've ever sat in a meeting and heard terms like “accommodations,” “FBA,” or “sensory processing needs” and felt unsure of your role—you're not alone. This course was designed to demystify student plans and empower paraprofessionals with clear, respectful, and practical strategies to support all learners. We’ll walk through real-world examples, common support documents (like IEPs and 504s), and how to make day-to-day decisions that align with a student’s needs—whether you're working in the classroom, hallway, or lunchroom.
