Yes, if the special education paraprofessional works in a Title I School-wide program and supports academic instruction to students with disabilities. No, if the paraprofessional provides personal care assistance to students with disabilities (e.g., feeding, dressing, toileting); that individual does not need to comply with the ESEA paraprofessional requirements. No, if the special education paraprofessional works with students with disabilities in a Title I Targeted Assistance program and the position is not funded by Title I.
