[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of possible reasons. I know one child who got a 1:1 because he has an intellectual disability but is mostly in gen ed. I also know of a couple with physical disabilities that need assistance and monitoring throughout the day. I know other children who got at least part-time assistance due to elopement, meltdowns, and/or severe attention and hyperactivity issues and by severe I mean severe in that it was disrupting the rest of the class.

There's one child in my DD's class this year with a paraeducator for part of the day and I can't figure out for the life of me why, but I'm guessing he may have needed more help in previous years. I know it's not my business but I was volunteering and was surprised and happy there was another adult helping out as my own child has SN and I saw this para helping my child.

It also helps to have an advocate or attorney or both.

Not MCPS but I have heard of another school district where the (rich) parent willing to fight for a para was supported by the school despite that child having relatively mild needs, precisely because the para could help a group of kids with parents who were not set up to advocate. It all seemed to work out to everyone's satisfaction. [/quote]
