Read the first 7 Paraeducator flashcards as text

  1. A student with a learning disability struggles with reading comprehension. Which accommodation would MOST directly support this student?

    Answer: Providing the student with text-to-speech software or read-aloud support

    Text-to-speech and read-aloud accommodations remove the decoding barrier, allowing the student to demonstrate comprehension.

  2. The ethical principle of 'professional boundaries' means that a paraeducator should:

    Answer: Maintain appropriate professional relationships and avoid dual roles with students and families

    Professional boundaries protect both the paraeducator and students by maintaining clear, appropriate role definitions.

  3. A student with ADHD is having difficulty staying on task during independent work. An effective environmental modification would be to:

    Answer: Provide a quiet, low-distraction workspace and break tasks into shorter segments

    Reducing environmental distractions and chunking tasks are evidence-based strategies for supporting students with ADHD.

  4. When communicating student progress to parents, the paraeducator should:

    Answer: Relay information through the supervising teacher and follow established communication protocols

    Paraeducators support communication but should route formal parent communications through the supervising teacher to ensure accuracy and consistency.

  5. What is 'inclusion' in the context of special education?

    Answer: Educating students with disabilities alongside their non-disabled peers in general education settings with appropriate supports

    Inclusion means students with disabilities receive education in general education environments with necessary supports and services.

  6. A paraeducator working with an English Language Learner should:

    Answer: Use visuals, gestures, simplified language, and the student's home language when appropriate to support understanding

    Multimodal supports and strategic use of the student's home language scaffold comprehension and support language development.

  7. Which of the following describes 'generalization' in special education?

    Answer: A student applying a learned skill across different settings, people, and materials

    Generalization is the goal of skill transfer — students must apply what they've learned beyond the original teaching context.
