Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Special Need Assistants/paraprofessionals serve an essential role in special education to support children with multiple disabilities, but they often lack adequate training and supervision. The study aims to examine the effects of the coaching program for assistants compared to a workshop outside working hours and evaluate the outcomes in students and assistants. The second aim is to measure fidelity implementation of coaching practices and if the intervention was participation-based.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study addresses the training needs of assistants to minimize participation barriers of the students. The schools will be assigned to one of two groups: both groups will receive a 10 hours training workshop; only the intervention group will receive coaching one-to-one. The duration and number of coaching sessions will depend on the caregivers' time available, daily routines, and goals. Coaching sessions will be recorded for the assessment of treatment fidelity.
