Description

Understanding your Province’s Special Education system and how ADHD is recognized within this system is paramount when advocating for your child. This in-depth workshop will cover:

  • Provincial Special Education Systems across Canada
  • The Ontario Special Education system
  • Exceptionality categories
  • Fear of labeling
  • The December 2011 Ministry of Education Memorandum
  • Navigating the IPRC process
  • Understanding and contributing to an IEP
  • Your child’s rights
  • How you can be a more effective advocate for your child
  • Post-secondary institutions and ADHD
  • Psychoeducational testing and other third party reports

This interactive workshop will include presentations on essential information, but also encourage interaction through whole audience and small table discussions on frequent occurring roadblocks, common parental frustrations, and successes working with schools. Participants are encouraged to bring their child’s IEPs or other documents they wish to discuss.
