School-based Paraeducator Education for Engagement at Recess
The purpose of the proposed three-site study is to test whether an educator-level implementation strategy, coaching, with or without a school-level implementation strategy, school-based teams, will maximize paraeducators' use (fidelity and sustainment) of an evidence-based social engagement intervention, Remaking Recess (RR). RR aims to improve peer related social skills for autistic students and their non-autistic peers who are socially isolated or peripheral and need support during recess.
• Students: Elementary aged students in K-5th grade who are autistic or have a neurodevelopmental disorder (Age 5-12)
• Educators: Paraeducators, teachers, or other school personnel that work with K-5th grade students in a public school in the United States (Age 18+)
