Help! What are the duties of a sped assistant? Any info would be most helpful.

[@6kidsand8cupsofcoffee]

Sped Assistants are a big help! Assistants are constantly helping us file and collect data for students as we are responsible for collecting this information. Assistants help with behavior especially if they have a good relationship with the kiddos ( help folloiwng behavior plans). Preparing for transitions are helpful, making sure eveyrone has what they need to land and launch. If you are tech savy helping with log ins and log offs and much much more.

HAHA I also had the U shape issue

Haha that is so funny! I thought it was going to be the best room layout ever! I was so wrong 🥴

[@PerkyFruitForTheD]

What would you suggest as a better layout? Getting ready to go into my first SPED position❤

[@ActiviTeach]

@@PerkyFruitForTheD I personally love doing group work and having my students work together since a lot of our students typically need to work on social skills. I love having tables where students sit together in groups rather than individual desks.
