This study aims to research the student assistant’s workplace situation at the after-school center, wherein we examine the various differences between how school leaders, parents and guardians aswell as student assistants handle their duties at the after-school center. These questions are as follows, ”What duties should the student assistant role encompass”, as well as”Which differences exist in the support which students with special needs receive during school hours respective to after-school hours”. This study derives its information from qualitative research and scripted and improvised interviews. Our results demonstrate a clear link that the student assistant plays a vital role with the work of supporting special needs children. Since it has been difficult acquiring prior research regarding the student assistant’s role at the afterschool center we’ve had to draw parallels between the small amount of existing research regarding the student assistant’s work during school hours.
