Experiences of Turkish Paraprofessionals Who Support Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Journal of Education, v204 n2 p362-371 2024
Paraprofessionals are important members of special education teams. In particular, the experiences of paraprofessionals who support students with autism spectrum disorder may provide valuable insights and thus merit qualitative research. In this narrative study, the relevant experiences of Turkish paraprofessionals are investigated. Findings reveal four themes, namely, working stories, issues experienced, motivational sources, and professional development needs. Moreover, the participants expressed professional and emotional satisfaction despite difficulties. The findings may direct further research efforts toward the formulation of strategies that can alleviate the challenges experienced by paraprofessionals.
