SPECIAL EDUCATION Meeting the needs of students with disabilities and behaviour problems is one of the most difficult challenges facing the public education system in Ontario. The laws governing public education in Ontario guarantee the right of your child to an appropriate education even if your child has special education needs. However, getting the appropriate services for children with special education needs can be a challenge. Parents that are active in advocating on behalf of their children improve the chances of getting the education services and programs that their children need and deserve. As a parent or guardian, you have a responsibility to work with your child’s school and the classroom teacher to make sure that your child gets the support and resources that he or she needs to succeed at school. This is only possible if: you are informed; you actively participate in the decisions made about your child’s education; and you work closely with school staff to plan, and to provide a home and school environment that will allow your child to make the most of his or her educational experience. "What information will I find in the Special Education section of this website?"
