Special Education Department

A place for every learner.

We believe every student belongs here and can succeed. Our Special Education team works closely with students and families to provide the right support, whether that’s a Learning Strategies course to build study and organization skills, or a place in one of our community classes. Students in every program are part of school life, making friends, joining activities, building independence and celebrating their successes.

Our community classes

  • Multiple Exceptionalities (ME)
  • MID Intensive
  • Complex Needs

Placements in these classes are regional and are made by the board’s Student Support Services, not by the school. Families interested in a placement can start by speaking with their child’s current school.

Identification Process 

Transition planning is one of a number of planning processes intended to enable exceptional students to attend school, to benefit to their full potential from school programs, and to make a successful transition into adult life. 

Work Experience 

​The Work Experience Program (WEP) is a community-based partnership between local business, industry and York Region District School Board.
