How does my child qualify for a 1:1 aide?

Before your child can get support from a 1:1 aide, your district will likely want to conduct an assessment to determine whether your child qualifies for the support. Depending on your district, this assessment may be called:

• RSIA (Related Services Independent Assistant)
• SCIA (Special Circumstances Independent Assistant)
• SCES (Special Circumstances Educational Support)

After receiving the results of the assessment, the team will determine which type of aide or support your child requires.
