    The Steps to Enhance Personal Success (STEPS) Program is a specialized system program designed to meet the needs of students with severe to profound developmental disabilities. These students may have physical, sensory or behavioural challenges, or medical conditions requiring specialized accommodations. The focus of the program is to build functional communication skills that enhance the quality of life within a safe and structured learning environment, with regular routines and close supervision.

    Key Duties/Responsibilities

    Educational Assistants (EAs) assist teachers with many instructional and non-instructional tasks in the classroom and with other school activities.

To reach this objective, the EA follows an individually prescribed learning program, through team planning and working one-on-one with the student(s).
