VerifiedHello, I will be the attorney assisting you with the question. Please feel free to ignore any phone call requests that you may receive.
The only restrictions for this type of thing are (1) the requirement that the teacher has to be special education certified & (2) if a student has an individual IEP or documentation that they need individual help, it must be provided. Other than that, the use of instructional aids and teacher's assistants is controlled by school district policy.
