I love working with your super important support staff, the ones who do so much to help your staff and those students who have learning and behaviour needs.  There are a huge number of ways your support staff can operate so flexibility is key to what a PLD programme could look like.
This MoE pilot fund "provides teacher aides with support to undertake PLD opportunities. It covers course fees, time to attend the courses, and some travel and accommodation costs." 

Contact me to discuss this.  I would love to talk through some options that will meet your school's needs.
