Ontario’s education system can be complex and confusing for families of students with disabilities. To help address these challenges, Community Living Ontario has developed a comprehensive guide, Navigating Special Education in Ontario. OCO is pleased to welcome Community Living Ontario to provide important information, tips, and strategies to support caregivers of students navigating special education support in both elementary and secondary schools.
Join the webinar to learn more about:
• The processes, procedures, and key concepts of the Ontario school system, which will enhance your understanding as a parent and caregiver.
• Community Living Ontario’s new guide, “Strategies for Success: Navigating Special Education in Ontario, A Guide for Students, Parents and Caregivers.”
• Get practical tips to effectively advocate for your child’s needs.
This webinar will be held on Thursday, September 25th, 2025, at 12:00 PM ET, with a repeat session on Tuesday, September 30th, 2025, at 7:00 PM ET. Please note that both sessions will cover the same content, and we kindly ask that you select one session to attend.
