ASD Consultant & Lead Teams

The Cape Breton-Victoria Regional School Board provides support for students diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In 2005-06 the Board established an Autism Lead Team with the primary function of providing professional development for teachers. Members of the lead team continue to play a professional development role, as well as, provide some site-based support to program planning teams/teachers and support for expanding current ASD initiatives (e.g., STAR, TTAP, TEACCH). In 2007-2008 the position of Autism Spectrum Disorder Consultant was created to facilitate the Board’s various ASD initiatives, provide site-based support, and direct the activities of the Board’s ASD lead teams.
