Morehouse, Judith A.; Albright, Leonard
Teacher Education and Special Education, v14 n4 p248-56 Fall 1991
This study examined the training options and needs of paraprofessionals who provide transition services to students with disabilities in public school and adult agencies. Questionnaire responses of 142 individuals and interviews with 27 paraprofessionals and supervisors indicated that few structured training programs for these paraprofessionals exist. The competencies and training needs of these personnel were identified. (Author/DB)
