Position Overview
Dedicated Aides are assigned to work with a specific scholar with a disability and support scholars in numerous situations.

Dedicated Aides accompany the scholar to all classes during the school day, implement the scholar’s behavior plan, provide individualized attention and instruction during academic periods, and support them during other portions of the day, as determined by individual scholar needs.
