Referral Process:
After the student has gone through the SIT team/GEI process, the team will request a referral form from the school psychologist. The team will complete the referral form and obtain parent consent prior to submitting the referral to an AIT team member. The completed form will be reviewed by the Autism Intervention Team. A member of the team will coordinate with school staff and schedule an observation. Referrals can be made on students who have a diagnosis or for students that may benefit from further support.
