Our Program

The Child Development Advisor (CDA) provides emotional, social, and behavioural support to all students at Meadowbrook School. The CDA is available to any student who needs the support of someone to talk to.

The CDA consults with staff, students, parents, and when necessary, with outside agencies. The CDA program is designed to provide proactive and preventative programs as well as intervention with issues that have already been identified. The CDA is an active member of both the School Resource and Crisis Management Teams.

Some of the concerns addressed by the CDA include:

  • Peer issues
  • Relationship Building
  • Social Skills
  • Coping with changes in the family
  • Self-esteem/Building Resiliency
  • Dealing with loss and grief
  • Promoting Safe and Caring Schools
  • Family support and referrals
  • Conflict resolution and anger management

Contact and Referral Information

CDAs are available to work with any student in the school.  Students can come to speak to either Mrs. Lawson or Ms. Viveiros on their own by asking their teacher or making an appointment.  If they are not available, students are encouraged to leave a note, and one of the CDAs will connect with them as soon as possible. Students can also email Mrs. Lawson or Ms. Viveiros.
