Refusal Toolkit for Paras + Teams

A work refusal toolkit for paras and IEP teams: a one-page staff guide, a 20-minute training with slides, and family letters. Paras handle a lot of refusal, and most of them got zero training on it. This gets the whole team using the same words and the same moves.

What’s inside:

• When a Student Refuses: a one-page guide for the clipboard
• Who Does What, plus questions paras should ask on day one
• Para FAQ with honest answers (“Do I let them sleep?”)
• 20-minute training outline with script notes for every slide
• 12 widescreen training slides (PDF)
• 8 practice scenario cards and an answer guide
• Team agreement for one student
• Family first-contact letter, a family input page, an update template, and a phone script
• Para daily handoff note

Good for:

• Para onboarding and staff meetings
• PLCs and sub folders
• IEP teams and behavior teams
• Building a better relationship with families

The training is refusal-only, short enough for a staff meeting. It does not cover restraint, seclusion, or crisis holds. Follow the student’s IEP or BIP, your district policy, and your family communication rules.
