Paraprofessionals are responsible for providing hands-on assistance to remove student clothing, change soiled diapers, clean students' bodies after toileting, and assisting students with getting dressed and putting on a clean set of clothes/underwear if necessary.
Students who have shown the ability to use the bathroom independently should be encouraged to do so. However, line of sight supervision of students must be maintained during toileting and handwashing. Paraprofessionals are responsible for offering step-by-step guidance during these routines.
It is strongly recommended that two adults always be present when assisting students with toileting and diapering. Classroom volunteers may not assist children in the bathroom or change children's diapers or clothes.
