The Opportunity:

The Provincial Preschool Autism Service

The Provincial Preschool Autism Service (PPAS) is a partnership between IWK Health (IWK), Nova Scotia Health (NSH), Hearing and Speech Nova Scotia (HSNS) and Autism Nova Scotia (Autism NS).

Based upon an extensive review and engagement, autism services in Nova Scotia are in the process of transitioning to a needs-based model responsive to the individual needs of children and their families.

It will provide person and family-centred services to preschoolers across Nova Scotia who are suspected of or have a diagnosis of autism.

The new and enhanced services will include a greater number and range of interventions and supports available for children and families.


Examples include:

autism clinical intake and care coordination, family and health professional education, diagnostic assessments, QuickStart NS parent coaching toddler program, a 12-month intensive intervention for children with the greatest social communication and behavior needs, autism interventions by interprofessional teams, and transition to school.

The intent is to create an efficient, sustainable, and integrated continuum of health services for preschool-age children with autism where services and supports are matched to the needs of children and their families.


Nova Scotia EIBI Program
The Nova Scotia EIBI Program provides intervention for preschool age children with Autism and training for their families. The program is offered through IWK Health Centre in partnership with Hearing and Speech Nova Scotia.

The main form of treatment, Pivotal Response Treatment, uses motivational strategies and the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) to facilitate development of children's communication, play and other functional skills.

The EIBI Program has a strong commitment to ongoing learning for the EIBI teams, so that children and their families receive similar services across the province.

There is a strong leadership framework for the provincial program. Treatment is provided by a coordinated team consisting of parents, one-to-one interventionists, Clinical Interventionists, and consultant Speech-Language Pathologists.


The Provincial Preschool Autism Service Provincial Trainer (PT) is responsible to train EIBI staff in skills and competencies specific to implementation of the EIBI Service Delivery Model across the province of Nova Scotia Provincial Trainers provide clinical supervision and assess ongoing maintenance of required competencies with all EIBI staff across the province.

The Provincial Trainer trains EIBI staff to build the competencies essential to meet their job requirements. These include but are not limited to training in Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT), Positive Behavior Support, and Motivational Interviewing.

Provincial Trainers provide advanced training and support for Clinical Interventionists and Speech Language Pathologists to become trainers in PRT, in PRT fidelity coding, and to integrate developing knowledge and skills into individual child programming.

They provide additional supervision and support to individual teams for clinical and teaming challenges. Provincial Trainers are part of quality performance measurement and support; they provide performance feedback to CIs, SLPs; and PIs.

Provincial Trainers are responsible to maintain their own skills and to continue to develop their training and supervision skills to ensure that they are contributing to consistent, quality service delivery where continuous improvement thrives.

Based on staffing of the CI roles, and workload, the PT may be required to assume more responsibilities as a CI to support the pod(s).
