School Board passes motion that creates special education parent facilitator/advocate position

It has taken several months but my motion that was supported by the Special Education Advisory Committee in June passed full board on September 7. This motion directs staff to work towards creating an arm's length Parent Advocate at the TDSB. This position will help parents understand and decide what special education programs are available at the school board and which might be best for their son or daughter. Currently there is some confusion among parents about what programs are available and which match various exceptionalities. I will keep you informed as the process moves forward.
