Paraprofessional Training
Paraprofessionals are critical to student success, but often do not have the skills or formal training in evidence-based practices to enable them to provide effective support.
Through a special agreement, we are excited to be able to offer the districts in our region a district-wide, lifetime access to two training options developed by Dr. Julie Causton and Dr. Kristie Pretti-Frontczak at a significant cost savings over the list price.
