You can specify that s/he should look like a classroom aide...
Would you clarify what a classroom aide should look like?
I think (could be wrong... just a guess).. that what DeeDee meant by this was the other kids wouldn't know the person was specifically assigned to work with your ds, and would function by working with your ds as needed (and before working with any other students - your ds would be the aide's priority), but also be able to help other children in the class when your ds didn't need assistance. Sometimes there's a concern that having an aide specifically assigned to one children (and having all the other kids in class know about it) will create an issue of the child feeling different or being treated differently by the other chidren.
