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 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 Director of Provincial Preschool Autism Services, the Clinical Manager will be responsible for zonal implementation, oversight and ongoing management of interprofessional autism intervention teams, intensive services intervention teams, and other preschool autism services as identified within the zone in keeping with the policies and practices of the provincial preschool autism service. Managers are responsible for fostering local community partnerships in each zone to build an integrated/coordinated approach to the delivery of preschool autism services, including partnerships with Hearing and Speech Nova Scotia, Autism Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia Health, physicians, and other community-based organizations and service providers. Teams will be distributed geographically across the zone to ensure equitable access for children and families.

In addition, each manager will have a provincial area(s) of responsibility to support the planning, implementation, and evaluation of various strategic and clinical initiatives as part of the transformation of preschool autism services and to ensure the quality of health services as part of a provincial integrated service delivery model.
