[QUOTE="buddy, post: 518791, member: 12886"] A 1:1 aide is not the only type of aid available though. And it is possible for an aide to not be on top of the child at all times, but to set things up, to watch and help when things start to derail etc. It is not more restrictive than a special needs class for some kids.....it so depends on the situation. Many kids share an aide in a classroom. The aide can make it so that the child can be in a general education program (or any classroom) if they just need some cues. That said, there are situations where an aide can become the teacher the "peer" the everything to the child. It can become something that makes the child super dependent on an adult and even resentful and upset at being treated differently (not usually in preschool though)... It is something to be very specific about and something that needs to be monitored. [/QUOTE]
