**Providing academic support by**: assisting students in the completion of prescribed academic, recreation, arts and crafts programs; reinforcing previously taught concepts; promoting personal independence in self-care (e.g.: feeding, dressing, toileting, mobility) and the development of gross motor skills; accompanying some students to integrated classes; observing students’ progress, maintaining appropriate records, and discussing with the teacher possible program changes to facilitate student learning; and participating in reviews of the student’s progress with the teacher and other parties (parents, vision and hearing consultant, vision and hearing teacher, psychologists, therapists, registered nurse) as directed.

Ensuring the safe and orderly storage of equipment and supplies.
