Broer, S.M., Doyle, M.B., & Giangreco, M.F. (2005). Perspectives of students with intellectual disabilities about their experiences with paraprofessional supports. Exceptional Children, 71(4), 415-430. Qualitative study of 16 young adults with intellectual disabilities about their experiences receiving paraprofessional supports when they were in school.

Four interrelated themes regarding consumer perspectives of paraprofessionals as "mother", "friend", "protector from bullying", and "primary instructor". Implications for practice are discussed.
