In today’s classroom, paraprofessionals serve a unique role in the education of students with ASD.  Paraprofessionals also have unique training needs and employment requirements in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  In 2012, the Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 325 which requires certain paraprofessionals to receive training in student behavioral management.  VCU-ACE has created extensive trainings, tools, and resources in order to meet the needs of both paraprofessionals and the law.  The course, Autism Spectrum Disorder for Paraprofessionals:  Providing Effective Instruction and Supports, meets the requirements of the law and provides paraprofessionals with the information they need to properly support and assist students with ASD.
