A Teacher Aide provides individualized support to students with special needs, as outlined in a student's IEP, and may also assist small groups as appropriate. Responsibilities may include escorting students to and from the building at arrival and dismissal, supporting participation and engagement within a self-contained classroom, and facilitating integration into related services and general school activities. The aide supports students across all settings—including classroom instruction, recess, lunch, and transitions—and assists during fire drills or other emergencies. Duties may also include assisting with toilet skills, feeding, and other daily living needs, ensuring the student's safety, dignity, and full access to the school environment.
