Abstract | Ten modules for training paraprofessionals who work in classrooms for students with emotional handicaps address the following topics: (1) awareness of emotionally handicapped (EH) students and the educational programs and services designed to meet their needs (assessment, evaluation, the individualized education program, case conferences, social skills instruction, self-esteem); (2) structuring the learning environment (room arrangements, scheduling, rules); (3) effective behavior management principles (consistency, structure, objectivity, ethics) and techniques (reinforcement, contingency contracting, token economy, cueing, shaping, extinction, time out, imagery, proximity control, modeling); (4) communication skills (listening and problem-solving); (5) adapting instructional activities and materials to meet individual needs; (6) observing and documenting student behavior (systematic observation and data collection systems); (7) affective education; (8) interactive skills, including verbal and nonverbal communication; (9) effective time management for the paraprofessional; (10) legal and ethical issues relating to confidentiality and selected behavior management techniques. Qualifications and responsibilities of a paraprofessional are listed in an appendix. Modules include supplementary handouts, forms, overhead transparencies, and pretest/posttests. (JW) |
