[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 5527, member: 1161"] From the standpoint of a parent with a difficult child with an aide in class, it does anything but create dependency. The one who gets dependent is the teacher in my opinion, because in my difficult child's case they use the aide's assistance for other classroom reasons as well. My difficult child hates having an aide, and if you ask him he does NOT want one. Having one makes him different, and the last thing kids want is to be seen to be even more different when they already have problems. He doesn't use the aide, last year he didn't like her making him even less likely to use her help, so the aide has little to do in the class and thus is available to help the teacher. He automatically qualifies for one here because of the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnosis. As dreamer said, if you do get one watch for signs that the aide is a good one, and push for a change if they don't seem to get along. My difficult child was going to get the same one as last year, and I said please NO at the spring meeting and then just before school started and YAY it worked and he's gotten one that he had 2 years ago and he just loves this guy and likes his new teacher, hence so far he's having a great year.
