The Behavior Support Assistant class is distinguished from other instructional support classifications in that incumbents independently provide guidance services to assist students in improving their personal, social and other non-academic skills. They receive technical work direction from the psychologist, principal and members of the Student Study Team. Most of the students served by the guidance program have physical/learning disabilities, emotional/behavioral problems, or come from dysfunctional families with problems such as substance abuse, divorce, and child abuse. Behavior Support Assistants work with the parents as well as the students and school staff when attempting to improve the students' attendance and academic performance through improvement of the students' personal and social skills.
