how do I become a personal assistant in the classroom?

Question

I've heard a lot recently from parents on my Type 1 diabetes group about having difficulty getting schools to cooperate in providing their very young diabetic children with a personal assistant. I mean, come on, these kids are legally entitled to it, so what's the big deal? How could someone like me become a child's personal assistant in the classroom?

Answer 1

Check your public school district for info on how to become a Teachers' Aide. Later you can specify that you'd like to work with Diabetic children.
Good luck.

Answer 2

Talk to the pricipal of the school and see if they will allow you to work there as an assistant or a volunteer.

Schools are always looking for good people.
