Where There Are No Therapists: The Related Services Assistant Alternative.
Overview & Synopsis
A culturally appropriate program with a functional approach was developed to train related services assistants (RSAs) in U.S. Pacific jurisdictions. RSAs support students with severe disabilities to achieve individualized-education-program objectives. Evaluation revealed positive impacts for disabled students served by 19 trainees, but newly trained RSAs were underutilized by schools. Implications for similar rural U.S. programs are discussed.
