How does an individual obtain a Special Education Program Aide license (#883)?
The Special Education Program Aide license (#883) must be requested by an employing school district. If a district hires an individual as a special education paraprofessional, a PI-1602-PA license application must be completed if the individual does not hold another license issued by the department. The PI-1602-PA application must be completed by an individual and includes a section for the hiring district to request the license. Hiring requirements are established by individual school districts and may include experience, coursework, or other relevant information. The Special Education Program Aide license application (PI-1602-PA) is available at the WDPI Teacher Education, Professional Development and Licensing (TEPDL) website: http://www.dpi.wi.gov/tepdl/aide.html.
