Services and support for our special needs community.

The ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ offers special needs services in all of our schools in the form of specialized classes, modified curriculum, learning resources and access to professional evaluation and guidance through our Student Services Department. We also offer specialized schools where students can be referred by our team of professionals.

 

How can I get my child evaluated for support services?

In order to have the special education needs of a child met, there is an evaluation and referral process. This process depends on whether the child is being newly registered with the ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ or if they are currently attending an ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ school. Children can be evaluated for possible learning disabilities, social maladjustments or handicaps

Evaluation & Referral Process

Search by school or program

We have a variety of options to suit the diverse needs of our students. Students need to be referred by a professional in order to be placed in a specialized school or class, however, you can use our school search tool to learn more.

How do I register my child for school?

The registration process for special needs students is consistent with the process for the entire ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ community.  If the student about to be enrolled has had any previous special education intervention and/or has been diagnosed by a professional(s) as having special needs, the parent is strongly encouraged to share this information with the school principal upon registration.

A student may qualify for a special exception from compulsory French language instruction if they have been identified as having special needs.
