Certification, Training, and Other Programming Variables Affecting Special Education and the Paraprofessional Concept

Abstract
A survey of state education agencies with respect to the use of special education paraprofessionals indicates that these personnel are gaining widespread popularity in the provision of educational services. As a result, their importance in the development of state and local comprehensive systems of personnel development is apparent. The authors support their position with data relating to certification, training, and local programming variables that pertain to special education paraprofessionals.
