Classroom assistants and one-to-one assistants are an important part of the staffing structure of many autism support classrooms. Limited studies, however, have examined how one-to-one assistants spend their time in the classroom. The purpose of this article was to examine the percentage of time one-to-one assistants were engaged in instruction or support of students with autism and to determine the factors associated with their engagement. Direct observations were conducted in 46 autism support classrooms. Teachers and classroom assistants were engaged in instruction or support 98% and 91% of the time, respectively. One-to-one assistants were engaged in instruction or support 57% of the time. Classroom assistants' and one-to-one assistants' engagement was significantly correlated. The low rate of one-to-one assistants' engagement suggests an inefficient use of an important resource.

自闭症支持教室中的一对一助理互动。

课堂助手和一对一助手是许多自闭症支持教室的人员结构的重要组成部分。但是，有限的研究检查了一对一助手如何在教室里度过时光。本文的目的是研究一对一助手对自闭症学生进行指导或支持的时间百分比，并确定与他们参与有关的因素。在46个自闭症支持教室中进行了直接观察。教师和教室助理分别有98％和91％的时间从事教学或支持工作。一对一的助手有57％的时间从事教学或支持工作。课堂助手和一对一助手的参与度显着相关。一对一助理的比率低
