Associate Attorney at Hawley, Troxell, Ennis & Hawley, licensed in Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. Specializing in litigation, special education law, and insurance defense.
Principals, Special Education Directors, and School Districts: Putting in the effort to train your teachers, assistants, paraprofessionals, and others who are involved in special education will save you time and money in the long run. Before law school I studied special education with an emphasis in severe disabilities. I worked as a paraprofessional in an elementary school during this time. Do you know how much training I received? None. I was never trained why I needed to keep a log of what the student was doing every 15 minutes. I was never trained why I needed to write a written summary of each day, I was never trained how to be a paraprofessional. Luckily, I knew why those things needed to be done and I did them. But, things could have ended very differently. #specialeducation #specialeducationlaw #education #schooldistricts
