**The Opportunity**:
**_ Provincial Preschool Autism Services_**:

- 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._

Reporting to the Manager of Provincial Preschool Autism Services, the clinical psychologist position is responsible for completing clinical diagnostic assessments of children who are suspected of having a diagnosis of autism. The role may serve both preschool and school age children (note the Provincial Preschool Autism Service will also coordinate diagnostic assessments for school age children). Multiple strategies are underway to enhance access to autism assessments province-wide while intervention services are being enhanced and the Psychologist will play a key role in providing high quality, evidence-based assessment services to children and their families.

All psychologists will work as part of a broader provincial team to support autism diagnostics and collaborate as part of an integrated service delivery model for the Provincial Preschool Autism Service (PPAS). As a result, Psychologists may/will also support PPAS clinical interventions through direct clinical service for families, caregiver education, or clinical consultation and collaboration with families and interprofessional team members as part of PPAS intervention services (i.e., interprofessional teams, intensive service, care coordination, etc).

Team members completing Diagnostic Assessments are part of the Provincial Preschool Autism Service and are integrated with existing autism diagnostic services provincially. Diagnostic assessments will be coordinated provincially through a provincial clinical intake service and a provincial waitlist. Diagnostic services are supported by provincial clinical leadership and the goal is to reduce variations in access to autism assessment for families, meet standard wait time benchmarks, and support all clinicians to maintain professional competencies.

Depending on expertise and experience and/or skills developed through the course of employment with PPAS, the psychologist will work with various team
