She is now a registered sex offender.
The state attorney's office says the family of the student involved wanted a plea agreement so their family could heal and the case could be closed.
A source tells FOX 4 the paraprofessional, Lauren King, worked at Royal Palm Exceptional Center in Dunbar.
Her sentence will also be followed by five years of sex offender probation.
