• Consult and make formal referrals to support services, both within the division and community (e.g. SLP, OT/PT, Audiology, How Does Your Engine Run, and Children's disABILITY)
• May act as case manager (facilitate meetings, develop IEPs/BIPs in consultation with classroom teachers as necessary, maintain student resource files)
• Participate in IEP and other team meetings
