School-based Paraeducator Education for Engagement at Recess

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 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+)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Students or educators that have previously participated in Remaking Recess studies will not be eligible to enroll in this study.
