About The Position
Under the direction of certificated personnel, the Special Circumstance Aide (SCA) has the responsibility of providing support services to special education students on a 1:1 basis as defined in each student's individual education plan (I.E.P.). The SCA is distinguished from other Special Education aides in that they are required to perform duties that are necessary and appropriate to ensure that the special education student receives services outlined on his/her Individual Educational Plan (I.E.P.) in accordance with federal law. Services include personal care, behavioral support, and individualized instructional support, physical, emotional and social support to special education students as needed. The SCA is utilized in circumstances such as when the student requires 1:1 instructional support and physical prompting to stay on task, is unable to participate in a group setting without close adult proximity, the student has serious behavior problems on a continual basis and prone to physical aggression requiring close visual supervision or the student has very specialized health care needs, such as limited mobility, physical limitations, special food preparation or feeding, regular toileting schedule or diapering.
