Background/Problem Statement: Most of educators, especially those of students with Mental Retardation (MR), work with paraprofessionals (teacher aids) while teaching these students. It is stated that teacher aides are successful when they know what is expected from them, or what responsibilities they have. Therefore, the research need is to apply the teaching self-care and domestic skills program to teacher aires and to determine the effectiveness of a skill instruction program delivered by teacher aides on teaching self-care and domestic skills to students with MR.
