Student Support Services

Our student support services team assists students with diverse learning needs, including students identified with intensive needs and students with learning difficulties.

Our professional staff includes speech and language pathologists, learning-assistance teachers (LATs),occupational therapists, psychologists, counsellors and social workers.

We work with parents, teachers, students and outside agencies (when appropriate) in assessing student needs and establishing  programming.

We support inclusion of all students in their neighbourhood school.

Support for Blind or Visually Impaired students

We offer supports for children who are blind or visually impaired to attend their neighborhood schools with their peers. Following an ocular health assessment, consultative services are provided to school-based teams. Recommendations of programming options and services are given to meet each student’s unique visual needs and ensure student success in reaching their full potential in their inclusive environments.  Direct support may also be provided by itinerant staff to students’ whose primary mode of literacy and other academic learning is braille.
