A one-on-one aide in Special Education refers to a professional, often a paraprofessional, who is assigned to support a single student with disabilities. THe purpose of this individualized support is to provide personalized attention to address specific challenges the student might face in a classroom setting. The aide makes sure that the student gets the required support, modifications, and accommodations in their education and participates in classroom activities. Although the effect of a one-on-one aide on a special child can be positive, it is a very restrictive model, which might not be suitable for every student. There should be sufficient data showing that a student requires this level of one-on-one assistance. Before moving to such a model, one should explore other possible supportive services or arrangements that might be beneficial.
