Abstract
The ability of special education paraeducators who work with emotionally and behaviorally disturbed (EBD) students has been compromised by a lack of initial and long-term training. This Participatory Action Research Study asked six special education paraeducators, two special education administrators, and one special educator teacher to share their input on what they believed was needed in training to improve the paraeducators’ ability to deliver quality social and academic education to EBD students at the middle school level
