What is a Special Needs Assistant? – National Council for Special Education – Working to deliver a better special education service (2024)

Special needs assistants (SNAs) play an important role in assisting the teacher to support students with special educational needs who have significant care needs. They are allocated to the school and work under the direction of the principal/teachers. The SNA usually supports a number of students with care needs in the school. Most students with special educational needs do not have significant care needs and therefore will not need access to a special needs assistant while at school.
