About the Author
Emily E. Sobeck, PhD earned a bachelor’s degree in Special Education and Elementary Education from California University of Pennsylvania in the fall of 2007 and began working as a special education teacher in the spring of 2008 in a public school district in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She first served as a special education teacher for students in 9th to 11th grades, and then transitioned to a K to 1st special education position. With many of her students diagnosed with autism and a desire to learn more ways to support her students, Dr. Sobeck went back to California University of Pennsylvania to earn both a master’s degree in Special Education and an Autism Specialist Certification. While completing graduate school, Dr. Sobeck also worked closely with the Watson Institute receiving additional training, consultation, and support for her students. In 2012 Dr. Sobeck was selected for an Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) grant-funded position as a doctoral student in Special Education at the University of Pittsburgh. With the support of the grant funds, Dr. Sobeck was able to transition out of the classroom and into a full-time doctoral fellowship. It was during this time that she began her research related to paraeducators. In 2015, she was selected as a Doctoral Student Scholar within the Division for Research within the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) where she participated in training and coaching from top researchers in the field of special education.
Upon graduating with a PhD in Special Education in 2016, her dissertation study, The Effects of Didactic Instruction and Performance Feedback on Paraeducator Implementation of Behavior Support Strategies in Inclusive Settings, was selected for the Outstanding Dissertation award through the Teacher Education Division (TED) within CEC in 2017. Dr. Sobeck has served as a faculty member at Franciscan University since 2016 where she is currently an Associate Professor of Special Education. She also has served as the membership chair for the Paraeducator Special Interest Group (part of the Teacher Education Division of CEC) since 2016. Within this role she has assisted in developing position papers, conducting research relative to paraeducators, creating webinar trainings, and supporting advancements in professional standards for paraeducators and teachers who work with paraeducators. Since working in higher education, Dr. Sobeck has obtained several grants, published more than 15 items, maintained an editorial position for several special education journals, and given more than 60 presentations and trainings, many of which had a primary focus on paraeducators. The Division for Research within CEC featured one of Dr. Sobeck’s manuscripts in 2019, and she was awarded Franciscan University’s Excellence in Scholarship in 2020. Much of her work has focused on paraeducator training, equipping paraeducators to manage challenging behavior, teacher and paraeducator relationships, and supporting paraeducators who implement Behavior Intervention Plans. Dr. Sobeck wholeheartedly believes this area of special education is crucial to the educational service delivery for students with disabilities and is excited to be able to share the information within this text.
Sarah N. Douglas, PhD started her career in 2003 as a special education teacher in Flagstaff, Arizona, after earning a degree in Elementary and Special Education from Northern Arizona University. In her time in the classroom, she supported students with a variety of disabilities in resource, inclusive, and self-contained classroom settings. Dr. Douglas worked with a variety of paraeducators in her role as a teacher, and learned first hand about some of the benefits and challenges of their utilization in school settings. During her time teaching, she obtained a master’s degree in 2007 in Special Education with an emphasis in Low Incidence Disabilities and obtained a graduate certificate in Assistive Technology.
The time Dr. Douglas spent in the classroom inspired her to go on to obtain a PhD in Special Education from Penn State University in 2011, where she began her research related to paraeducators and explored interventions to support students with complex communication needs. Since that time Dr. Douglas has served as faculty at Penn State University (2012 to 2014) and Michigan State University (2014 to current), where she now is an Associate Professor and Director of the RADD (Research in Autism and Developmental Disabilities) lab. Dr. Douglas has served as the secretary for the Paraeducator Special Interest Group (part of the Teacher Education Division of CEC) in 2013. In this role she has developed position papers, webinar trainings, shared recent research, and worked to move forward professional standards for paraeducators and teachers in their roles with paraeducators. During her career in academia, Dr. Douglas has obtained various funding to conduct research related to paraeducators, including a large-scale federal grant. She has published more than 60 items, with a large portion of her work focused on paraeducators. This has included the development and testing of interventions for paraeducators, exploratory work to understand paraeducator roles and experiences, literature reviews, reviews of training materials, and practitioner articles to bridge the research to practice gap. Dr. Douglas’s vast experience as a leader in the paraeducator literature and professionally related to paraeducators (as a teacher and researcher) makes her well qualified as an author of this text.
Denise J. Uitto, EdD began her career as a speech-language pathologist after earning her degree at Bowling Green State University. She served one year in a county school system providing speech therapy services to students in multiple buildings. In the next few years, the field of special education changed rapidly with the implementation of new federal laws. Students previously denied an education were enrolled in public schools, including students with multiple disabilities. Dr. Uitto entered her teaching career serving as a teacher for students living in a long-term residential facility. Following the birth of her son, she returned to the school district as a paraprofessional in a resource room for students with cognitive disabilities. She performed multiple roles within the resource room such as clerical work, playground supervision, reinforcement of academic skills, and assisted students joining their peers in general education classrooms. Continuing her career as a teacher for students with multiple disabilities, her team supervised paraprofessionals as they performed health-related tasks and reinforced vocational and daily living skills. With encouragement and support from colleagues and administrators, she pursued a master’s degree in Special Education to earn a supervisory degree and an administrator certificate. Her administrator career began as a Supervisor of Special Education Programs, Preschool Special Education Administrator, then moved into two elementary principalships. Throughout her administrative career, the motivation to improve services for students with disabilities and special education programming continued. She wrote grants and utilized local funding to provide professional development for both teachers and paraprofessionals to support students with disabilities. Dr. Uitto earned a doctoral degree in Organizational Leadership with a cognate in professional development. With her background in teaching and administration, she became the administrator of an associate degree program for paraprofessionals at the University of Akron, Wayne College. She joined colleagues from across the United States in promoting the supervision and training of paraprofessionals. Joining the Paraeducator Special Interest Group with the Teacher Education Division of the CEC, she served as co-chairperson and developed position papers and the current Core Competencies for Special Education Paraeducators. She has co-authored book chapters and articles throughout her career and consulted with regional special education centers to provide professional development opportunities for both teachers and paraprofessionals. As an advocate for all students with disabilities, she continues to serve special education programming by co-writing research articles and projects involving paraprofessionals in special education.

Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

(2) A ‘consumer’ in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman’ refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
(2) If an article is placed by us with AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the page on AbeBooks or ZVAB shall involve the binding offer to conclude a contract under the terms and conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the “Checkout” page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the “Buy now” button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
(3) If you are a businessman, the following conditions also apply:
a) We retain ownership of the goods until all the claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. The goods subject to retention of title may not be pledged or transferred by way of security before ownership of the said goods changes hands.
b) You can re-sell the goods within the framework of an orderly transaction. In this regard, you hereby cede all the claims amounting to the magnitude of the billing amount that accrue to you as a result of the re-selling operation to us, and we accept the cession. Furthermore, you are authorised to collect the claim in question. However, insofar as you do not discharge your payment obligations in an orderly fashion, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
c) In a situation involving the combination and amalgamation of the goods subject to retention of title, we acquire co-ownership of the newly-formed item. This co-ownership corresponds to the ratio that exists between the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title and the other processed items at the time of processing.
d) If you make a request of this nature, we shall be obligated to release the securities that are due to us, to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
(4)
Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in deviation from the above warranty provisions:
a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.
b) In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide warranty by rectification of the defect or subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your option, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the goods or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be obliged to bear the increased costs arising from the transport of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, unless such transport is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.
c) The warranty period shall be one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period shall not apply
- for culpable damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- in the case of items which have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory rights of recourse that you may assert against us in connection with rights arising from defects.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly inapplicable.
