  • Support the development of teacher knowledge around the creation of PLPs and Smart Goals.
  • Ensure that, where appropriate and feasible, allied health recommendations are incorporated into programs and plans developed by teachers for children.
  • Facilitate Program Support Group Meetings (PSGs) with families and allied health professionals to discuss learning adjustments, supports within the classroom space, goals and progress.
  • Support teachers to monitor student progress, analyse data, and adjust learning plans accordingly.
  • Contribute to the development and review of school policies and assist with the school's adherence to the MACS Medical Management Process.
