Pull-out vs. Push in

After considering a lot of different things I have decided that I would rather do the pull out program. I feel like this is the best option because the students needs that time in the classroom where they feel like a normal student.  Socially I feel like pulling a student out for a little while during the day would effect them less on the social level than having a paraprofessional by their side at all times in the classroom.  I also think the pull-out program would be better for individualized instruction.  You can focus more on what that specific student needs. Lastly, I feel like student would be more apt to gain learned helplessness when they have a paraprofessional with them in the classroom.
