Towards a Professional
Order in Special Care Counselling.
This oversight of the profession is currently at a turning point with the project to establish a professional order. The AEESQ filed an official application to the Office des professions on September 8, 2017.
The main purpose of a professional order is to protect the public. It ensures that professionals provide services that meet the required standards of quality and integrity.
Members of professional orders all have a reserved title. The Special Care Counselling profession deserves this framework and recognition.

Competency Framework Related to the Practice of the Profession
The QASCC presents this abridged version of the Competency Framework created by Éduconseil Inc. for the Association. The creation of the Competency Framework related to the practice of the Special Care Counselling profession in Quebec is an essential part of a QASCC project which aims to promote excellence in the field of special education.
The association worked to produce an official document that presents the profession in a realistic and complete way and that would serve as an essential reference to accomplish its mission as a professional association as well as to support its members through their professional responsibilities. The Association also wishes that the Competency Framework serves as a guide in the context of the creation of a professional order dedicated to the profession.
