My role as SPED – IA (Instructional Assistants) has been to support and assist the head teacher in the individualized teaching to the assigned student, thus easing the learning of the subjects. Assistance is personal, one-on-one, not only academically but also for their personal and health needs. Within my role is also preparing the environment and activities to be developed. It is important to concentrate our efforts on keeping an adequate environment, since in this way we avoid or reduce the possibilities of misbehavior on the part of our students, who due to their mental, emotional, low academic and communication conditions are prone to being aggressive. So, it is important that we apply learning activities, at their level, to create experiences that produce positive stimulation in their mood and abilities. With this thought in mind, we hope to improve their levels of autonomy and independence, enhancing their skills and abilities.
