This video and workbook set is the perfect way to educate your paraprofessionals on the key special education principles, provisions and services under the IDEA -- and enhance instruction for your Title I students and students with disabilities.

The training video examines the basis for special education law including disabilities categories and procedures as they apply to the role of the paraprofessional -- including suggested approaches to effective collaboration and support in specialized instruction.

What's more, the accompanying workbook provides reflection exercises and activities to reinforce the video's key concepts, such as:

• Types and definitions of disabilities
• Guiding concepts to use when working with students with disabilities
• Explanations of related special education services, support and personnel
• And more
