Job Description: SALA One-to-One Support Job Description

The SALA One-to-One Support is a specially trained paraprofessional which assists in meeting a student’s needs which result from the student’s different abilities, and in order to enable the student to be involved in and thrive in the entirety of our program. A one-to-one aide can provide support to a student in many ways. Schools typically assign a one-to-one aide for purposes such as community building, instructional support, assisting with activities of daily living, and/or fostering and developing a student’s social skills. For example, an aide might help a student with using the bathroom, mobility issues, specialized communication, or staying on task. We believe educators are able to build stronger relationships with students when they are able to give them the personalized attention they need. Plus, one-on-one learning allows students time to process away from the class; for example, students can take their time and ask questions without being interrupted by classmates.
