Lessons Learned and Effective Practices Regarding the Implementation of the Connections for Students Model
to Support Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Collaborative Services Delivery Model (CSDM) for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder Phase 2 Report of
THE PROVINCIAL ADVISORY TEAM (PAT)

1 Introduction Characteristics of Success and Suggested Strategies

The Characteristics of Success and Suggested Strategies include effective practices identified by the Provincial Advisory Team (PAT) during their observation and participation in the Collaborative Service Delivery Model (CSDM) for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder Phase 2. Effective practices were informed by experiences and lessons learned summarized by the 16 school board and AIP partnerships that implemented the Connections for Students model during CSDM Phase 2.

These lessons learned and suggested strategies may be helpful to school boards and AIP providers in the ongoing implementation of Connections for Students. These strategies may not reflect the realities of all projects, nor do they attempt to set out definitive practices. It is understood that each partnership has their own unique circumstances; therefore effective practices provided may be adapted to best suit the needs of the school boards, AIP, the student, and their families.
