Webinar Navigating Special Education in Ontario on April 10
Navigating Ontario’s public education system can be difficult, complex, and frustrating for students with disabilities and their families. Understanding what is available, accessing resources, and managing relationships within school boards is challenging for even the most engaged and knowledgeable students and caregivers.
PooranLaw and Community Living Ontario have partnered to create Strategies for Success: Navigating Special Education in Ontario, a comprehensive online resource that will be published during Inclusive Education Month in February. It brings together relevant special education legislation in Ontario, including regulations, and policies, and offers a range of information and strategies regarding accommodations and supports, human rights, Identification, Placement, and Review Committees (IPRCs), appeals, exclusions, student discipline, and more.
Online Trips with Recreational Respite
During these virtual exploration programs, young adults of all abilities can explore Ancient Egypt, Japan, the Guatemala Mayan Ruins, and France together. Discover interesting facts about the history, culture, language, and incredible feats of engineering. Each online trip includes interactive activities that support learning, curiosity, global awareness, and encourages collaboration with peers.
Ages 16+. Learn more or register here: recrespite.com/virtual-services/
Mondays in April, at 2:30pm ET, via Zoom
(4pm NDT/ 3:30pm ADT/ 1:30pm CDT/ 12:30pm MDT/ 11:30am PDT)
