School Age Children
As your child gets older, your thoughts turn to school. Which school will they be able to attend? How can I prepare my child? What are the resources available in my area? Below, you will find information we have gathered, but we recommend you contact your School Commission.
Here is a list of special needs schools. The schools are classified by region but we recommend you contact the school because, in some cases, they accept students from other regions as well.
