Preschool autism funding @ Government of Prince Edward Island – Department of Education and Lifelong Learning

Complete an application for preschool autism funding after your child has been assessed by an Early Years Autism Specialist. Include the intended start date for services, whether you or an early childhood centre will employ the Autism Assistant, and documentation on your child’s autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. Submit the application to the Autism Funding Coordinator. If approved, you or your designated early childhood centre will receive an Autism Funding Agreement for review. Once signed, hours of service by the Autism Assistant can begin. You or your designated early childhood centre submit Time Tracking Logs (see the application) to the Autism Funding Coordinator to receive payment after the Autism Assistant has provided I.B.I. support. Payment is issued to you or the designated early childhood centre according to a Regular Schedule. You, or the designated early childhood centre, then pay the Autism Assistant. Autism Assistants attending training arranged by the Early Years Autism Coordinator record these hours on the Time Tracking Log in lieu of instructional time. If a substitute is required for an Autism Assistant in training, the wages for the substitute can be submitted to the Autism Funding Administrator for reimbursement.
